MDUSV
Abstract
The Medium Displacement Unmanned Surface Vehicle (MDUSV) project will develop and test a 132 ft. unmanned surface vehicle with ocean-spanning range, months of endurance, good seakeeping, and substantial payload. The vessel will have a high level of autonomy for independent operations under sparse supervisory control and have utility for a variety of Navy missions. MDUSVs capable of deployed blue-water operations with operator trust in safe, reliable operation, long-range and endurance autonomous operations. This will create a new paradigm for Navy surface force, a hybrid manned/unmanned force, and enable new tactics in performing naval missions.
