Lisa Franchetti unveiled a goal of having 80% of the Navy\u2019s fleet ready to deploy at any given time by 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obstacles to reaching that goal materialized quickly, however, with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gao.gov\/assets\/gao-25-106728.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.gao.gov\/assets\/gao-25-106728.pdf\">Government Accountability Office<\/a> report in December 2024 highlighting a readiness rate among the Navy\u2019s amphibious warfare ships of just 46% between 2011 and 2020. This rate, in turn, significantly hindered Marine Corps deployment and training plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In August 2025, that rate reportedly dipped to just 41%, resulting in a more than five-month gap in Marine Expeditionary Unit deployments that year and further straining resources amid the Trump administration\u2019s push to counter the illicit drug trade in Latin America and the Caribbean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 80% plan, meanwhile, was picked up by Franchetti\u2019s successor, Adm. Daryl Caudle, who called the rate \u201can ambitious but essential readiness goal.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAchieving this requires shorter maintenance cycles, increased spare-parts availability, improved training pipelines and targeted upgrades across the fleet,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/opinion\/2025\/12\/18\/winning-the-long-game-sustaining-sea-power-as-our-enduring-advantage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/opinion\/2025\/12\/18\/winning-the-long-game-sustaining-sea-power-as-our-enduring-advantage\/\">Caudle wrote for Military Times<\/a> in December. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cReadiness is not a budget line \u2014 it is a promise to the American people that their Navy will never arrive late to a fight.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gecko deploys AI and robotics on 18 ships assigned to the Navy\u2019s U.S. Pacific Fleet<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":110973,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":7,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[7,13,21],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3400],"class_list":["post-30778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-battlefield-tech","category-industry","category-unmanned"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"VBS46RRIBNB4DOSDPXFLHJYDWM","arc_canonical_url":"\/industry\/techwatch\/2026\/03\/17\/us-navy-taps-gecko-robotics-to-help-remedy-maintenance-headaches\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>US Navy taps Gecko Robotics to help remedy maintenance headaches - C4ISRNet<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Gecko deploys AI and robotics on 18 ships assigned to the Navy\u2019s U.S. Pacific Fleet\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"US Navy taps Gecko Robotics to help remedy maintenance headaches\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Gecko deploys AI and robotics on 18 ships assigned to the Navy\u2019s U.S. Pacific Fleet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/battlefield-tech\/2026\/03\/17\/us-navy-taps-gecko-robotics-to-help-remedy-maintenance-headaches\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"C4ISRNet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-03-17T17:56:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T17:03:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"J.D.
