US Navy foresees an uncrewed future for its surface and underwater fleet
The service has been conducting various procurement and development efforts to integrate unmanned surface and underwater vehicles into its inventory.
SeeByte, the global leader in creating smart software technology for unmanned systems, has provided the NATO Undersea Research Centre (NURC) with two upgraded licences of their SeeTrack Military software.
The upgrades to NURC's SeeTrack licences will also include the latest versions of SeeByte's additional modules, comprising of the Computer-Aided Detection/Computer-Aided Classification (CAD/CAC) module, Navigation Post-Processing module and the latest release from SeeByte, their Performance Analysis and Training Tool (PATT). The motivation behind this procurement for NURC's fleet of AUV's is to enable NURC to provide pioneering technology solutions to NATO countries, allowing positive steps towards more efficient and effective operations in the areas of mine countermeasures, port and harbour security, maritime situational awareness and preventative measures for terrorism.
Ioseba Tena, Sales Manager at SeeByte commented; "We are proud that NURC have chosen to upgrade their SeeTrack licences to further their research. Our latest modules will provide them with more effective methods for enhancing awareness and security across NATO member countries."
Dr Warren Fox, Principal Scientist at NURC said; "SeeByte's SeeTrack Military software can help us transition our world-class research in support of NATO's maritime operational and transformational requirements to NATO fleets. Its open architecture platform means that any new and innovative tools we develop for mine countermeasures to safely and efficiently find explosive ordnance can easily be made available to all existing NATO users of SeeTrack Military."

Tekever has manufactured the AR3, AR4 and AR5 UAS with all systems sharing common electronics and software architecture, which has enabled the reuse of ground segment elements within the new ARX UAS.
As the dynamics of aerial combat rapidly evolve, Chinese scientists have engineered a sophisticated air separation drone model that can fragment into up to six drones, each capable of executing distinct battlefield roles and challenging the efficacy of current anti-drone defences such as the UK’s Dragonfire laser system.
Advancements in air defence technologies have begun to reshape aerial combat dynamics in the Middle East, as illustrated by recent events involving the Israeli Air Force and Hezbollah.
Both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war have been using UAS for effective low-cost attacks, as well as impactful web and social media footage. Thousands more have now been committed to Ukrainian forces.
