The Navy has sailed a drone speedboat through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most strategically important waterways, to test how well the service can integrate manned and unmanned surface vessels in operations.
The drone, an L3 Harris Arabian Fox MAST-13 unmanned surface vessel, was flanked by a pair of Coast Guard cutters on Wednesday as it sailed south from the Persian Gulf through the strait into the Gulf of Oman.
In September 2021, the Navy’s 5th Fleet, based in the Middle East, set up Task Force 59 to integrate unmanned systems and artificial intelligence in regional maritime operations. Since then, the task force has deployed a number of drone systems into the region from operational bases in Jordan and Bahrain, the Navy said.
