Scheduled to take place in August at Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, the exercise is poised to explore multiple technologies, including untethered power nodes designed to increase the persistence and operational effectiveness of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) under the exercise theme of “Human-Machine Interaction”.
Exercise organiser, the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport, will take delivery of Teledyne’s solution, which comprises a fuel pump, fuel station, and docking station capable of housing up to four UUVs simultaneously.
