by Michael Fabey

The US Navy will be mating manned and unmanned platforms and systems with greater complexity and scope than attempted in previous operations during April’s Unmanned Integrated ‘Battle Problem (UxS IBP) 21’, said Captain Jeff Heames, commanding officer of Surface Development Squadron (SURFDEVRON) One, which supplied surface assets for the exercise.
