The US Navy (USN) appears to be keen about integrating autonomous hull, mechanical, and electric (HME) systems on manned platforms, according to Tom Reynolds, senior director of Business Development, Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII), Technical Solutions for Unmanned Systems.

The navy recently issued a request for information associated with such integration work, Reynolds said during a HII media roundtable on 11 January at the Surface Navy Association National Symposium, which started the same day in Arlington, Virginia.
