and every soldier, sailor, and construction worker to have within arm reach at any given moment?
While sailors have not yet used the new laser to destroy any real enemy targets, the Navy is prepared to do just that,
Sailors operate the laser using a video game-type controller according to Navy officials. With this controller, they can perform a variety of operations.
sailors aboard the Ponce can increase the strength of the laser's highly concentrated beam,
The sailors who tested Laws reported that the weapon worked well even in high winds,
"With affordability a serious concern for our defense budgets, this will more effectively manage resources to ensure our sailors
and costs keeping sailors out of harms way while still keeping boats in the water.
According to the ONR CARACAS allows boats to operate autonomously without a sailor physically needing to be at the controls including operating in sync with other unmanned vessels;
the 13 ships of this demonstration were controlled all by one sailor. Should the signal with the controller be lost the boats will stop themselves.
The boats are all patrol craft typically crewed by four to five sailors. Replacing the crew with robotic controls means the Navy needs 40 to 50 fewer people for a 13-ship exercise.
since unmanned swarms of up to 20 boats can be controlled by one sailor at a time. And they can use fewer people;
round-the-clock patrols only require one new sailor at the controls every few hours instead of 50 sailors out in the water every time.
and exploded killing 17 sailors and injuring 39. Klunder specifically stated that the systems we put on the water would have prevented such a terrible tragedy.
The Dreadnought 2050 seen here is a concept ship that could be controlled by only five sailors sitting at screens
The way sailors used to navigate through tracking of relative movement however, is essential for finding a way through unfamiliar areas,
A sailor will use cues such as the stars or landmarks to determine where their ship is on a map,
The deployment of UAV swarms will provide Sailors and Marines a decisive tactical advantage. he recent demonstrations are an important step on the way to the 2016 ship-based demonstration of 30 rapidly launched autonomous,
