According to the report, the Royal Navy has tested its Pacific 24 rigid-inflatable craft in autonomous and remote navigation modes around the Solent, marking the first such trial in UK waters.
The report stated that the vessel followed pre-programmed routes and was remotely controlled by the Royal Navy’s autonomous experts, the NavyX team.
The report also stated that aboard this ship are Consoles, cameras, and sensors that provide live feeds to control units aboard the XV Patrick Blackett off the coast of Portsmouth.
The report added that uncrewed craft navigated in busy waterways in harsh conditions, including rough seas and snow, to evaluate its performance in realistic scenarios.
Commander Michael Hutchinson said that the trial forms the backbone for further integration that future ships will have with autonomous technology, and develops procedures to use uncrewed systems effectively for warfighting.
