US Navy to Expand Production of Unmanned Surface Vessels for Strategic Operations

US Navy to Expand Production of Unmanned Surface Vessels for Strategic Operations

The US Navy is set to significantly increase the production of Medium Uncrewed Surface Vessels (MUSVs) as part of its strategic naval operations. According to the US Navy Shipbuilding Plan, the production of these autonomous vessels will double between 2027 and 2031. The MUSVs are designed for various roles, including anti-submarine warfare and convoy escort, and are expected to become a crucial component of the naval fleet. The Navy plans to build 36 units in 2026 and three more in 2027, with the MUSV segment projected to constitute 10% of the total naval vessel force by 2027 and over 18% by 2031. The FY27 budget allocates $171 million for the procurement of three vessels and a total investment of $3.1 billion over five years to acquire 47 MUSVs.

NATO to Conduct First Cross-Border Sensor-to-Shooter Test by 2026

NATO to Conduct First Cross-Border Sensor-to-Shooter Test by 2026

NATO is planning to conduct its first cross-border sensor-to-shooter test involving at least two member states from central and eastern Europe by the end of 2026. This initiative, part of the Eastern Flank Deterrence Initiative (EFDI), aims to enhance the alliance's ability to respond to threats by integrating sensors and effectors across national boundaries. Brigadier Chris Gent, Deputy Chief of Staff for Transformation and Integration, explained that the test will involve passing targeting and other data between nations using a digital backbone currently in design and development. The goal is to shorten the information link and increase the use of AI and autonomy in military operations.
