Unmanned Surface Vehicles - Changing the Paradigm in Naval Warfare


Dublin, Dec. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) for Defense and Security - Market and Technology Forecast to 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Unmanned Surface Vehicles will revolutionize naval warfare in the near future as new, larger categories are being developed. They are evolving from tools that can carry out a number of tasks to systems capable of operating with a high degree of autonomy in a joint, network-centric environment. The USV market is still at its early stages, which offers significant opportunities.

The developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) enable the transition in the use of USVs in highly complex scenarios, that include collaborative operations with manned platforms. In a near-peer confrontation, this will allow manned vessels to control swarms of large displacement, weaponized USVs that will overwhelm an opponent's defences. Practically, the concept of distributed lethality will expand exponentially revolutionizing the face of naval warfare.

This report Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) for Defense and Security - Market and Technology Forecast to 2030 examines, analyzes and analyzes the impact of the dynamics shaping the USV market and forecasts the market in the 2022-2030 period.
