Uncrewed craft will multiply mine and submarine warfare forces

How are navies likely to use uncrewed surface and underwater vehicles?

They could become force multipliers for minesweeping, mine clearance, minelaying, submarine support, and anti-submarine warfare.

Large navies are expected to integrate uncrewed surface and underwater vehicles into several specialist missions. Minesweeping, mine clearance, and minelaying are obvious applications. The craft could also support submarines and multiply anti-submarine warfare coverage. Their value lies in distributing more sensors and effectors across difficult maritime tasks, rather than simply replacing crews.
