Unmanned Vessel Plans Need lmprovement, Agency Says By Geoff Ziezulewicz While lhe U.S. Navy is steaming full speed ahead in developing unmanned surface and undersea drenes to augment lhe fleet of lhe future, lhe information technology and the artificial intelligence that will drive these platforms remain a work in progress. The sea service needs to better map out its efforts, according to a recent government watchdog report. Navy shipbuilding plans call for spending more than $4 billion on such drenes over lhe next five years, but that plan "does not account for lhe full costs to develop and operate these systems," a Government Accountability Office report found. Replacing crews requires IT and AI capabilities that the Navy has just begun to examine. GAO's audit, which began in October 2020, found that the Navy is "only beginning to assess (unmanned systems') effects on existing shipbuilding plans." "While lhe Navy has outlined a plan to spend $4.3 billion on uncrewed maritime systems in its shipbuilding plan, we found that this understates lhe costs associated with these systems because it does no! account for all costs .- specifically operations and sustainment, and lhe digital infrastructure necessary to enable !hem," lhe report states. Funding unmanned development could also come under pressure from competing shipbuilding demands. The report found that lhe Navy has yet to stand up criteria for evaluating prototypes or developing better schedules for such prototype efforts. The Navy is looking to introduce several unmanned systems into lhe fleet in lhe coming decades, according to GAO, and while some software will be unique to each platform, lhe Navy also wants to have a lo! of common digital infrastructure among these vehicles. This digital infrastructure would involve AI capabilities built over time to better help lhe platforms communicate, sense their surroundings and manage reams of data, the report states. Navy officials told GAO that lhe sea service needs a host of technologies, including simulation software, software for autonomy and mission planning, large datasets for machine learning, as well as commercial tech and software that can be quickly bought and melded into Navy systems. Among its recommendations, lhe report states that the Navy should provide Congress with a cost estimate for the full scope of work that will be required to make unmanned systems part of lhe fleet, while developing an approach to refine this estimate in lhe next shipbuilding plan. The service should also establish an "uncrewed maritime systems portfolio" and offer more detail about how it intends to reach its unmanned objectives. (Adapted from Navy Times.
