High-Speed, Autonomous Swarming Unmanned Surface Vessels

After a year of internal research and development, the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, recently conducted a large, at-sea demonstration of swarming unmanned surface vessels (USV). The experiment - done in collaboration with the Surface Targets Branch of the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, Port Hueneme, California - was designed to advance the state of the art of collaborative, autonomous USV behaviors to higher speeds and larger numbers of vessels.
