Rolls-Royce has opened a research facility in Turku, Finland, to develop the technologies needed to shape the future autonomous global shipping industry.
The centre includes a remote and autonomous experience space aimed at showcasing the autonomous ship technologies the company has already introduced as well as those in development.
The new facility will enable Rolls-Royce and its partners to carry out projects focused on autonomous navigation, the development of land-based control centres, and the use of artificial intelligence in future remote and autonomous shipping operations.
Karno Tenovuo, SVP, ship intelligence, Rolls-Royce, said: ‘The centre allows us to accurately communicate our capabilities, what we have available today and what will be available tomorrow.
‘It will completely focus on the development of solutions capable of smoothing the maritime industry’s transition to the digital age. An autonomous maritime ecosystem will open up unprecedented opportunities.’
Despite claiming there was no need for a drone corps, Army Aviation remains ready to address UAS and CUAS warfighter requirements, as it focuses on adaptability and rapid deployment across all levels of warfare.

South Korea is rapidly advancing its UAV programmes and counter-drone capabilities in response to increasing threats from North Korea’s unmanned aerial systems.
Inspired by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the British Army has one eye on the future as it develops its ability to operate FPV UAS.
The confrontation followed a history of untroubled fly-throughs by similar drones en route to Ukraine.
