The Navy's armed USV efforts concluded in Project 33, a new initiative unveiled as the head of the naval operation. Navigation plan In September 2024, which is focused on the scale, among other goals[ing] Robotic and autonomous systems to integrate more platforms at speed in an unstable supplement for large replication efforts of Pentagon, designed to exclude American fleet with armed robot boats before a potential future war with China.
“Navigation plan moves towards two strategic loops: by 2027, by 2027, raising readiness for the possibility of war with the People's Republic of China and extending the long -term gain of the Navy,” as a franchise wrote Those days. “We will work towards these loops through two mutually strengthening methods: Applying Project 33 and expanding the Navy's contribution to joint warfighting ecosystem … until 2027, we are for regular use by commanders Siddha will integrate robots and autonomous systems that will employ them. “
The Defense Department is confident that the Robotic Push of the Navy will help prepare the US Army for the possibility of war with China, but some experienced military and defense supervisors have their misconceptions. Van ripper Signal of Marine Corps Force Design 2030, restructuring service before a magnificent island-hoping struggle against China in Pacific, is evidence that the Pentagon has still not learned the correct lesson since the Millennium Challenge 2002.
Marine Corps “was known for having an air-ground joint weapon, which was from the Rapid-Rispons deployed worldwide,” Van Ripper wise. “Now it has divided itself by every element of joint weapons or has reduced it, is getting rid of its armor, dissolving vehicles, cleaning the mine, and attacking the brizing capabilities, its footsteps To cut the army and aviation, to buy all missiles and go to rescue. Prashant. Marine Corps got rid of existing capabilities in favor of unproven or undivided abilities. ,
In fact, to fix the technology of the next generation of the US Army, drone can obscure those strategic texts in joint weapons as a size-fit-all combat solution to fix the strategic lessons that red in the Ukrainian campaign Can be clear in the ocean, says van ripper.
“You should not use drones in isolation with Van Ripper,” says Van Ripper. “We presented the Navy fleet [in Millennium Challenge 2002] With many challenges, which are truly combined weapons. What you are presenting is presenting the enemy with a dilemma: if he tries to protect himself from danger, he is insecure to threaten, and with C, D, and E Dangers, he Unable to handle it. In Ukraine, boats plus missiles and aircraft are more difficult to respond to Russians. ,
“I am not sure that the US Army is equipped to learn from those things today,” he says. “I am depressed with leadership on all levels, especially naval services.”
