The Crucial Role of UAS in Evolving Maritime Mission Sets
January 8, 2025
As military technologies continue to evolve, the U.S. Navy is increasingly turning to uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) to enhance its operational capabilities across a range of missions. These systems are particularly effective for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) operations, providing critical real-time information that allows military personnel to gather intelligence, monitor enemy movements and assess potential threats from a safe distance. UAS are invaluable for long-duration missions that require continuous monitoring of specific areas, both on land and at sea, thanks to their extended flight endurance, advanced sensors and real-time data transmission capabilities.
