Senior Experts to Deliver the Latest Insight on Military UUVs at Unmanned Maritime Systems Technology 2020

London, United Kingdom, August 06, 2020 –(PR.com)– Unmanned underwater vehicles already play a significant role in naval warfare. In recent years, several developmental systems have reached levels of maturity at which they can be used in direct support of combat operations.

The underwater realm is the most difficult because of the limitations of underwater communications, which makes some form of artificial intelligence mandatory.*

For this reason, it is crucial for navies around the world to gather and discuss the latest opportunities, challenges and current developments on unmanned underwater vehicles at SMi Group’s Unmanned Maritime Systems Technology Conference, taking place on the 25th-26th November 2020 in London, UK.
