Autonomous robot vessels take on dangerous sea mine hunting

RecentNews.uk

Navies are deploying autonomous robot vessels to locate sea mines and protect human crews.

Uncrewed underwater and surface vehicles use high-resolution sonar and AI to spot hidden explosives.

Shore-based teams monitor the systems, reducing personnel requirements from 80 sailors to small land shifts.

Defence experts emphasize that drones function best as part of a unified, data-sharing hybrid naval fleet.

Should navies rely primarily on autonomous drones for future mine clearance operations?
