According to Naval News Network on August 5, the US Naval Oceanographic Service awarded the US Blue Water Company a contract worth 40 million US dollars to carry out fully autonomous deep-water high seas surveying activities. According to the contract, Blue Water will deploy long-flight unmanned surface boats to carry out high-resolution undersea topographic surveying and marine environmental characteristics analysis missions in ocean waters. By introducing long-flight time USV generation manned ships on a large scale, the US Navy aims to improve the level of perception of deep-sea topography, acoustic environment, and ocean dynamics on the premise of drastically reducing operating costs and personnel risks, and to provide accurate data support for ocean underwater combat and navigation safety
