US Navy Tests Robotic Towed Connector for Unmanned Vessel Refueling

The US Navy demonstrated a robotic towed connector capable of repeatedly capturing, refueling, and releasing an unmanned surface vessel (USV) during an underway trial on August 11. The test, involving NAWCD, MARTAC, and Sealartec, aims to enable persistent unmanned operations at sea. This marks a step toward autonomous logistics for USVs, though operational integration remains uncertain.
