Navy to test 'ghost fleet' attack drone boats in war scenarios



The U.S. Navy will launch a swarm of interconnected small attack drone boats on mock-combat missions to refine command and control technology and prepare its 'Ghost Fleet' of autonomous, yet networked surface craft for war. Developed by the Office of Naval Research and Naval Sea Systems Command, 'Ghost Fleet' represents a Navy strategy to surveil, counter, overwhelm and attack enemies in a coordinated fashion.
