- Drone boats appear to be on the cusp of a revolution.
The U.S. Navy’s Task Force 59 has been pairing cutting-edge unmanned surface vehicles with artificial intelligence to expand the military’s eyes and ears in the Middle East. Now, similar efforts will be rolled out in the Pacific and Central and South America.
The military’s objective is to leverage machine learning to detect and anticipate threats before they occur. Experts say the U.S. is currently the leader in this field, but competitors like China and Russia are racing to catch up.
I traveled to Manama, Bahrain to see the high-tech drones in action and speak to officials about how they’re preparing for a future with robots in the world’s waters.

I don't think the USA is at the forefront of maritime drones when I see the German project from Thyssen/Krupp but make up your own mind about the world's largest undersea drone project MUM.
My favourite part was the drone-in-a-box. Such a versatile tool, you can strap one or more to pretty much anything and turn it into a drone mothership. Even a regular civilian speedboat!
Great success 👍 Appreciate you ☺️
All i have to say that this is awesome.
Awesome video ..! Keep it up
Beautiful
1:35pm central. Oh to be 18 years old and just joining the Navy no days. There are so many amazing jobs to choose from especially for the technical men and women. I m still trying to get my🎉 grandson to come and explore today’s Navy.
GAMECHANGER brand ! send them to ukraine!
sea and ariel support is amazing
The kinetic options will help them explode worldwide all right ;)
GOD, I LOVE this stuff!! Thank you, WSJ, and Shelby Holliday!
❤🤍💙
Wonderful new weaponry US keep on going
Excellent ❤
Nice
Go Navy !
You MUST put self-destruct in those things!
1st Robotic Division, 1 st Drone Airwing, Pacific Ghost Fleet...not to distant future🦾🤖USA
The anticipated environment sounds like something from Minority Report
4:05 "Welcome to The Rock." He really missed the opportunity to say this in a Sean Connery voice.
Spys are so beautiful and cunning
Make a stealth high speed kamakazi drone full of explosives that converts into a sub and submerges right before its attack!
Turkish IDA's(Unmanned Surface Vehicles) are the best. Ulaq, Marlin, Albatros, Sancar, Mir, Salvo...
i am australian and i am hoping america will stay ahead of the game for the next 50 years, the free world only exists because america built it and maintains it ???
Interesting they are making it public
Why isnt there drone subs?
Sensor’s underwater HUGE✅✅✅✅✅🤫🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Congratulations Minah Simone 🧠🙌🏼🛸🌏
I expect to see ships with spaced Armour and reaction Armour to counter Drones.
What is US coastguard doing in the Persian Golf ?
3:11 Dawg i heard you like drones so we put drones in drones so you could drones when drones.
Peter Zeihan recently made some bold claims in his newly released book on the aspect of navy power. He speculates the USA would slowly loose its power to patrol sea lanes which will inherently lead to an uprise in piracy.
This video just proves the opposite is possible. With a low cost fleet of unmanned drones the whole fleetcarrier program might soon retire or at least downscale.
Zeihan is such a goof. He is a little informed on many topics, and well informed on almost none. I like the flow of his presentations, but his speculations aren’t based in reality. Peak noncredibility
@@anon69_q I'd say most of his opinions on the military are quite inaccurate
Zeihan is a grandiose sophist
@@anon69_q sounds like Jordan Peterson tbh
The only thing that he is right about is China, he is wrong about almost everything else.
Why does the military have 1990s grade camera resolution?
I Wonder about what’s under water
3:09 bro .... is that the actual camera footage ? 😂
no. they are not going to show military capabilities openly to journalists. they are likely just cheap off the shelf camers just for r&d purposes.
Hey can you give us the plans and it technical info also , so we can defeat them ! Loud mouths sinks ships !!
" working to combine unmanned technology with AI." What could possibly go wrong?😮
I’ll be baack to you on this
this will find treasure ships that sunk hundreds of years ago..
Anything can be jammed or if too slow wiped out
The Department of Defense need to reel the military contractors in so they cannot charge what ever price they want. If they wish to raise the prices on machines or any device the US military use for the sake of making money is unacceptance. That company should be held accountable for extortion. The CEO should be removed and jailed.
the people who would hold them accountable are paid off too. corruption all the way up te chain. there is no justice.
What in the world are you talking about? USA military contracts are open book and profits on a contract are limited. The government owns the designs and often changes suppliers as a product ages.
The future is now
Cartels have better understanding of this tech than the U.S. Navy👁️
US has technology you will not see for decades.
Soon we'll have armies of robots and drones. Bit like Star Wars.
The problem here in the US is that we continue failing to safeguard US technology and programs. Somehow the CCP continues managing to get its hands on critical US military/civilian tech. The US spends billions and years developing the best systems possible just to have taken via espionage. China in many cases isn't just copying they are also using stolen data like the partial F-35 data to make exact copies sometimes modified but without spending the money.
Ask Joe Biden. He knows
@@jaxsazerac4904 I agree, Biden is huge problem. His admin seems to have an appeasement policy or no policy. Even worse we see them bowing to Chinese politicians. Corruption or incompetence it doesn’t matter but needs to stop.
What used to be American corporate elites are no longer American but Global here in lies the problem for the American state that is.
这些船在中国沿海被渔民捕获过。
I think those drones are more so for the citizens of their own countries than the so-called enemies. I’m sure they do come in handy for bad situations but it seems more of surveillance for us. They’re constantly building new gadgets for all of the sake of our protection.
Thank you for calling it right: it's the PERSIAN Gulf (not the Arabic).
Yes & the Persian Gulf does NOT belong to the uS clowns.
Drone ships? Some nutcase could hack into all of ‘em and let ‘em loose across every base in America!
Give us some of this toys. Iri
Semper Fortis
I need to get my awm and lv3 helmet in the droneboat-drop. 😂🤕
Shelby is so inappropriate for military subject matter, in both the technical and presentation aspects. She should cover runway fashion.
Thank you God for all you give me .
This vid needs updating following the recent action in Ukraine.
Until an advisory steals one and reverse engineers it.
Fishing boat vs U.S. Navy's Cutting-Edge Drone Boat
They're on the leading edge of what, the development of toy boats?
STOP this war at once.!
Somewhere out there these drones are going to find something that doesn’t belong on this planet. And i mean something that’s been hidden in our oceans that doesn’t want to be found. Now would the public be shown? That’s another story. What other places on this planet can you hide? Kinda like godzilla himself hiding 😂
All these drone boats are ready for our enemies to steal.
I saw this drone in a ukraine black sea video
🎉🎉🎉🎉
That should be done in the South "China" Sea.
why don't save money and stay at usa coast to make test ?
Some years ago a very fast tri Maran was developed which moved very fast through the waves and was barley detectable to the naked eye!!
Sure. I'll believe anything from someone who can't write
The enemy is watching
Why do they need drones when they have laser beams from space onto cities?
I-Ran with the US DRONE😝
Lol
No
Kinda dumb they dont have a self destruct mode if captured so Iran doesnt get a free drone boat
kinda dumb to think they'll tell you all its feature
Namibia caught of this boats
Question: How do they keep the solar panels clear of salt? As the water evaporates, it’s going to leave behind this residue.
Opinion: I hope the task force is bringing the Ukrainians in on this work.
highly unlikely this will be given to Ukraine. the chances of it falling into Russian hands and being reverse engineered is too great. they are only just now getting m1a1 abrams, and f16s. we won't even give them f35s you think we'd give them our cutting edge top of the line tech? i want to support Ukraine as much as you do, but it's a matter of national security, and OPSEC.
What, Ukraine is the 51st state of USA now? lol
Those techs you mentioned aren't really cutting edge top of the line stuff anymore tbh. Many countries have similar tech that can accomplish the same exact stuff.@@Aeternum_Gaming
Perhaps they distill water and use that water to automatically wash the panels?
If we are going to make the wars with unmanned machines in the future the solution is basic. Just force two generals in a chess match whoever wins has won the battle.
Lovely. Whoever has the most money for the best ships gets to run the world. What could go wrong?
Add won the battle at expense of tax payers money which can be used for social benefits such as education, health etc.
Problem is the boats they sink WILL have people on them.
@@alansmith4595 I meant for the future. Isn't this all fuss about making them without humans for the future?
@@alansmith4595 that's still an improvement over two boats full of people.
That's on paper again, like the rest we saw in the last 10 years and nowhere to be seen or tested
What happens when shit hits a new world fan.
testing in black sea
The funny thing is that the US deployed hundreds of those drones on the south china sea and they are getting quickly "stolen" by not only Chinese but also south east asian fishermen. The reason is that once you salvage these drones and give them to the chinese military, you get rewarded a few grand worth of cash. I mean I don't know which is more impressive, the drones themselves, or how the Chinese counter these drones😅
My comments ìs why are you exposed everything in public i mean those secret military ammunitions?
🇲🇨🇲🇨💪👍👌3
Iran move 10 year ahead,in marin autonomous survilian boat
What if Iran tries to grab one of these drones you didn't say
AK-47’s?!😂😂
Arabian gulf it’s been Arabian gulf forever
They're handing the technology out to the Iranians.
Coming to a Russian Port near you..............
Isn't it pronounced eye-ran and not e-raan?
Why are they announcing this? This should be a secret.
Agree!
The military will only tell you what they know isn't a new concept or a threat to national security. There are far greater capable drones and tech being fielded that isn't being talked about or shared. Everything you see here has been in service for at least a decade, UAVs, UGVs, UNVs, and USVs have been at play for years now that what they show you here has been not only in development, but in use in clandestine ops for decades.
@@TheRisenRAGE Hopefully you are correct
Trust me, They're not about to roll out the red carpet of our best tech to be copied by China or other nations. Take for example the F-117, first used in 1981 in combat ops and not shared to the public until 1988. Nothing in the U.S. arsenal is shared before its matured to be combat effective. America doesn't play all their cards at once, no nation does. Night vision and thermal integration has been here for awhile, and yet just been released to public knowledge just recently. DARPA knows what its doing, they're not about to play all aces until its time to do so.
@@tommorgan1291
@@TheRisenRAGEUse of drones goes back a long way in history.
It’s also a way to let enemies know of capabilities to avoid a FAFO situation. Publication of non-sensitive info is a kind of deterrent
That's very nice but I want to see the submarine drones You know like the ones that used to blow up pipelines with that the navy also has
Dapat bumili nito ang philippine navy
The only advantage drone tech has is in price vs unmanned systems, so tell us, WSJ, in your amazing reporting, you seem to have left out a small detail, how much do these drones cost on a per unit basis?
CIA probably gave Ukraine it's boat drone technology.
Mmmm. Drones to clean ocean of microplastics
The US invented drones and made drones in military.
Don't defend me just see and know the truth if you defend me my enemies will give you a headache
Use U-Boat Drones to destroy Warships 😁
We need to have these off the US Coast. China right now has 100 cargo ships off the coast of Los Angeles. These can and have been converted to military vessels. We need these off out coast ASAP !
Nonsense
what happened to freedom of navigation.. or is this nothing but hypocracy from your side?
Russians/Cinese will be fishing for US drone boats from now on.....
as for the drones being captured by the enemy - put explosives on drones to destroy itself and the boat towing - or use radar to home in on the drown and towing boat Poof there it is!!!!!
Or, use an identification beacon and have a swarm obliterate it and everything in 500 feet
These could make the invasion of Taiwan more difficult Xi.
Why aren't they tested in American waters?
because we dont want to lol.
They do btw.
Iranian Navy Took One of Them 🇮🇷
Because Iran could never engineer such a thing on their own so they have to try to capture someone elses in hopes of coming even remotely close to their technology. The funny part is they cant use it because lack of AI 😂😂😂😂
China on the otherhand..
Thus is ushered in the death of aircraft carriers. On water, over water and underwater cheap drones have made carriers obsolete. Imagine the launch of hundreds of multiple drones types simultaneously! Now what needs to be done is help politicians that help their constituents to find other products that will help maintain employment and corporate profits once carriers are no longer constructed. Maybe they could make--what? Maybe drones.
aircraft carriers are a projection of power. they can also be used in fema situations. think medical ships, or fire fighting airplanes. they just became less useful in combat is all.
@@Aeternum_Gaming Correct. But initial cost 13 billion! Then there’s daily operations and maintenance costs! But they do create a lot of jobs and help politicians get re-elected.
