Naturally, the U.S. Navy does not want to miss out on the funding trough provided by a 'terrorist' fear mentality. How about drone vessels (cost unspecified) to ward off inimical vessels and keep human sailors out of harm's way ... and, let's not forget, are really kool?
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) —
Self-guided unmanned patrol boats that
can leave warships they're protecting and swarm and attack potential threats on
the water could join the Navy's fleet within a year, defense officials say,
adding the new technology could one day help stop attacks like the deadly 2000
bombing of the USS Cole off Yemen.
My experience of this aging thing is that sleep is about as guaranteed as able. Give the moon all the credit ya want ya old poet.
