Modern robotic boats use machine vision to target a ship's weakest points

High-speed autonomous robotic boats are transforming maritime strategy by using advanced machine vision and GPS fusion to identify and strike the most vulnerable structural points of large ships.

Modern unmanned surface vehicles are redefining naval engagement through precision and stealth. These robotic boats can reach speeds of over 50 knots using waterjet propulsion and composite hulls that are difficult for radar to detect. By combining GPS and inertial navigation systems, they achieve meter-level accuracy over distances as far as 500 nautical miles.
