Shaping the Future of Naval Warfare with
Unmanned Systems

• Unmanned Systems Historical Perspective
• Used in Naval warfare early-on ... 1st as
  mines
• Use has grown steadily
• Today many specialized systems/concept
• Tomorrow an opportunity to Augment
• Fleet capability

• Current Fleet Trends
• Reduced Manning
• Increased Automation
• Less Casualties
• More Complex Threats
• Reduced Force Structure
• Independent (Split) Ops

Unmanned Systems Technology
AFFORDABILITY

• Smart Standardization
• Smart Modularity

LOGISTICS
AUTOMATION

• Standard Containers
• Flexible Retail Delivery
• Low Impact Lift
• Training

• Common Control
• Automated Launch Recovery
• Automated Sustainment
