The first division of unmanned boats was established in the UK.
On November 5, the command of the British Navy officially commissioned the 1st Autonomous Weapons Division at the naval base Portsmouth (Hampshire).
The unit, numbering about 180 military personnel, is designed for round-the-clock use of autonomous surface vehicles independently and in cooperation with naval groups.
The new array was created on the basis of Hive's experimental program, which included the purchase and testing of UAVs for the British Navy's transition to the "hybrid fleet" concept, which combines traditional warships and autonomous systems.
