The United Kingdom and the United States have executed the inaugural test of a torpedo launched from an uncrewed underwater vessel. This development represents a significant progression in the AUKUS partnership’s initiatives to advance autonomous naval capabilities.
UK and US Conduct First Torpedo Launch from Unmanned Submarine
Creepy but impressive. Silent, uncrewed hunters lurking below the waves… the ocean just got a lot scarier.
Does anyone know which torpedo model was used? Or are they keeping those details secret for now?
Wait, they actually got it to fire? I thought these tests would hit more snags before deployment.
This is a major leap for AUKUS. Unmanned subs change the game for underwater deterrence.
