The U.S. Navy’s fleet has been in steady decline for decades. With domestic shipbuilding now a national priority and cutting-edge technologies more accessible than ever, the time is ripe to embrace uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) as a transformative force in naval warfare.
The envisioned “Navy-After-Next” would blend crewed and uncrewed surface vessels of varying sizes, supported by undersea and aerial platforms to execute complex missions.
Join this session for a critical discussion on where the Navy stands today, what milestones have been achieved in USV integration, and what challenges must still be addressed before large-scale deployment can begin.
