The US Navy is testing robotic refueling to push drone boats deeper into high-threat waters without putting sailors at risk

The U.S. Navy conducted a test of a robotic system designed to refuel uncrewed surface vessels at sea. This capability is intended to allow drone boats to operate for longer periods in high-threat areas without risking sailors. The demonstration is part of broader efforts to expand the use of uncrewed systems across the Navy. Officials believe fully autonomous refueling could enhance operational endurance and safety.
