unmanned maritime systems (UMS)

Unmanned Maritime Systems (UMS) are robotic vehicles designed to operate in water environments without a human on board. They include underwater drones (autonomous or remotely operated underwater vehicles) and surface vessels (unmanned boats or ships). UMS are used for tasks like surveillance, environmental monitoring, cargo delivery, and defense missions. They are equipped with sensors and communication systems to navigate, collect data, and perform operations safely and efficiently, reducing risk to personnel and increasing capabilities in challenging or distant maritime areas.
