points. In the case of unmanned exploration, during my tenure with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA), I initiated the 2020 national strategy to map, explore, and characterize the ocean in the U.S. EEZ, the implementation plan for which emphasizes the use of autonomous underwater systems and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).Ocean exploration is about much more than the purpose of OceanGate’s expedition – adventure tourism. At stake are the immense benefits to national, natural, and economic security of such activity. Consider the Woods Hole Oceanographic
UK Royal Navy Orders Crewless Submarine from MSubs
in two years. The Navy expects the submarine to further advance the UK’s ability to protect our critical national infrastructure and monitor sub-sea activity."Project Cetus – named after a mythological sea monster – enhances the Royal Navy’s experimentation with autonomous underwater systems. It is the first step in developing an operational autonomous submarine that will work side-by-side with crewed submarines – including the Astute-class hunter-killers and their successors – or independently," the UK Government said in a statement.The crewless submarine
