Zitat:Ghost Fleet Overlord USV participates in ‘Dawn Blitz' exercisehttps://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-...z-exercise
An experimental Ghost Fleet Overlord unmanned surface vehicle (USV) has participated in a major amphibious exercise on the US Pacific coast, having previously transited over 4,700 n miles almost entirely autonomously.
Developed under a partnership between the US Department of Defense (DoD) and the US Navy (USN) through the Office of the Secretary of Defense’s Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO), the Overlord initiative is a joint programme designed to accelerate navy efforts to develop USVs and demonstrate increasingly capable autonomous behaviours. Outputs from the programme are informing the USN’s Large Unmanned Surface Vehicle (LUSV) acquisition effort. [...] Established in 2017, the Ghost Fleet Overlord programme has seen two existing commercial fast supply vessels – Libby L McCall and Riley Claire – adapted for International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS)-compliant unmanned operations. Following two phases of testing under SCO oversight, the vessels were transferred to the navy’s Surface Development Squadron One (SURFDEVRON ONE) at the end of fiscal year (FY) 2020.
