This dynamic panel brings together leading experts to explore how these advanced technologies are revolutionising maritime operations. From enhancing situational awareness to redefining naval
warfare, we will uncover the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead:
• What are the recent examples of Swarming operations in relation to the current and future threat context and what lessons have we observed from them?
• What is the potential for uncrewed-crewed teaming?
• How are AI and machine learning enhancing the capabilities of swarming uncrewed systems?
• How are we ensuring ethical decision-making and maintaining accountability for the actions taken in autonomous naval operations?
• What are the primary challenges coordinating interoperable coordinated UNS?
• Wargaming Baltic Sentry
• Identifying Capability gaps and insights into UXV operations
• Outcomes from experimentation and implications for coordinated operations
