Medium Displacement Unmanned Surface Vehicle (MDUSV)
Abstract
Startup of efforts for the new Medium Displacement USV starting in FY19 which will serve as the unmanned surface vessel portion of the Navy's Future Surface Combatant (FSC) strategy. The FSC USV is intended to provide low-cost, high endurance, reconfigurable ships able to accommodate various payloads for unmanned missions in support of the Navy's Surface Fleet. FSC USVs will be optionally manned and will operate autonomously while collaborating with US Navy combatants. The FSC USVs can be sent forward alone, work as a team, or accompany individual combatants or battle groups. Expected missions include electronic warfare, anti-surface warfare, strike, or others.
