Navy 'wolf pack' drone boats in warship trial success
Royal Navy successfully tests 'wolf pack' drone boats in warship trial off the coast of Scotland, showcasing the use of uncrewed vessels to escort warships. Conducted by personnel 500 miles away, the autonomous Rattler boats "swarmed" around HMS Tyne and HMS Stirling Castle, displaying their capability in real-life scenarios. This milestone demonstration highlights the Navy's move towards a Hybrid Navy of crewed and uncrewed platforms, emphasizing the potential of autonomous systems in changing the future of naval operations.
