Designing an autonomous ship means thinking beyond human needs. Here's what we know about the MUSV so far.
The utility ship of tomorrow is a robot that will follow the laws of the sea, autonomously plot its own path, and take on a range of payloads to serve the Navy over the course of its life.by Inside Defense last week, the US Navy’s new Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel will “feature a broad payload area where the Navy can ‘pick and choose’ the platform’s capabilities.”
The MUSV is part of an ongoing program to deliver a range of robotic vehicles for the Navy. It is being built by defense giant L3Harris, and what is most immediately notable about the ship are all the features it will not have. The Sea Hunter had a displacement of 140 tons, which is on the lower end of what can be expected for the MUSV. The Navy requirements could see vessels as massive as. That mass of ship will be taken up by a variable range of tools for missions, from scouting to jamming enemy signals to transportation, at least at the start. The ability to select configurations of sensors and other tools could let the MUSV be a flexible part of Navy operations.
