The U.S. Navy is advancing maritime awareness, resilience and decision advantage across contested environments as traditional crewed platforms face limitations in capability, bandwidth and legacy interoperability. With new hybrid technologies expanding the fleet’s reach, autonomous systems are evolving from isolated experiments into integrated force multipliers across the naval kill chain. Advances connecting autonomous maritime data to Maritime Operations Centers are creating a unified air, surface, undersea, space and cyber environment that strengthens awareness and accelerates decisions. Join SAIC and our customers and partners to explore the challenges, opportunities and the future of naval warfighting.
