Britain to buy new drone warfare testbed vessel

The Royal Navy is planning to procure a multi-role uncrewed surface vessel designed for tech demonstration, with delivery expected by the end of the financial year. Simultaneously, reports indicate that the U.S. military may not be ready for the new era of drone warfare. While U.S. dominance has historically relied on technological innovation, it is no longer certain that this condition holds true as the landscape of modern warfare evolves toward uncrewed systems.
