The naval research group used four boats in the swarming experiment as the vessels tracked and trailed a target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4000\" height=\"3000\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/boat-drone-2.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/boat-drone-2.jpg.jpg 4000w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/boat-drone-2.jpg.jpg?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/boat-drone-2.jpg.jpg?resize=768,576 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/boat-drone-2.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,768 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/boat-drone-2.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1152 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/boat-drone-2.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1536 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4000px) 100vw, 4000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An unmanned rigid-hull inflatable boat operates autonomously during an Office of Naval Research (ONR)-sponsored demonstration of swarmboat technology held at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story.

Eric Smith, the commander of Marine Corps Combat Development Command, said the Corps was looking at all autonomous platforms from aerial to surface and subsurface systems, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldefensemagazine.org\/articles\/2019\/8\/21\/news-from-auvsi-defense-marine-corps-to-expand-unmanned-systems-arsenal\" target=_blank>National Defense Magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re testing 11-meter rigid-hull inflatable boats,&#8221; Smith said, according to National Defense Magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe technology is actually fairly simple. You can put it on really any platform. But what we\u2019re looking for is a long-range vessel that has the ability to do resupply, move personnel or &#8230; move cargo,\u201d Smith said, National Defense Magazine reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smiths remarks were made Tuesday at the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International conference held in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smith said the Corps has also partnered with MITRE Corp. in its pursuit of unmanned surface vessels, National Defense Magazine reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MITRE Corp. is a nonprofit aimed at helping solve complex problems through research and development in the fields of artificial intelligence, defense and cyber, among other specialties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. David Berger called on the Corps to \u201caggressively research, innovate, and adapt to maximize the potential\u201d of unmanned systems in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hqmc.marines.mil\/Portals\/142\/Docs\/%2038th%20Commandant%27s%20Planning%20Guidance_2019.pdf?ver=2019-07-16-200152-700\" target=_blank>planning guidance<\/a> published in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAutonomous systems and artificial intelligence are rapidly changing the character of war,\u201d Berger said in his planning guidance. \u201cOur potential peer adversaries are investing heavily to gain dominance in these fields.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Berger noted in his planning guidance that the Corps will \u201cprioritize short-term fielding of proven technology\u201d for unmanned systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lt.
