DARPA's Robot Ship Slated For April Unveiling (nationaldefensemagazine.org)

93 Escort Wagon writes: The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) plans to launch a 130-foot autonomous ship this year. The Anti-Submarine Warfare Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel will be the largest unmanned surface vehicle ever built at 130-feet long. It will be christened in April in Portland, Oregon, and then begin to demonstrate its long-range capabilities over 18 months in cooperation with the Office of Naval Research and the Space and Naval Systems Warfare Command.

My regards to Captain Dunsel.

Keeping sailors and soldiers and airmen out of harms way, while providing national defense, is a blessing for all in the US. Yet it is also an example of how human employment will decrease and points to the need to change fundamentals of society and economics.
