Unmanned Vessels

Unmanned vessels, also known as unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) or autonomous ships, refer to marine vessels that operate without a human crew onboard. These vessels utilize advanced technologies, including automation, remote control, and artificial intelligence, to navigate and perform various tasks at sea. Unmanned vessels can be deployed for a wide range of applications such as research, surveillance, military operations, cargo transport, and environmental monitoring. Their design allows for reduced operational costs, increased safety by minimizing human risks, and the ability to conduct missions in environments that may be hazardous for crewed vessels. Unmanned vessels can be fully autonomous, capable of making decisions without human intervention, or remotely operated from a distance. The development and use of unmanned vessels represent a significant innovation in maritime technology, pushing the boundaries of traditional shipping, fishing, and research methodologies.
