An article that briefly discusses examples of unmanned systems in the maritime arena and point out the challenges and concerns inherent in the employment of these systems. The changes are occurring so rapidly that this article can only provide a snapshot of what is happening in the development and use of these systems. Note that the article will generally focus on the Atlantic/Western arena and not on developments by China. It will not focus on Canada – if you are interested in what the Royal Canadian Navy is doing with regard to these systems, please see NAC Briefing Note #17.
