"It combines the latest autonomous and AI technologies with world-class warships and aircraft to create a highly advanced hybrid fighting force to detect, deter and defeat those who threaten us."
"A revolutionary underwater network is taking shape - from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge to the Norwegian Sea. More autonomous, more resilient, more lethal - and British built."
"In May, the Ministry of Defence published a procurement notice for the £24 million Atlantic Net initiative, under which contractors will own and operate lightly crewed, remotely operated or autonomous systems providing Royal Navy personnel with acoustic data analyzed with artificial intelligence."
"The Ministry of Defence's Atlantic Bastion programme directly addresses increased activity by Russian submarines and surface vessels, including the spy ship Yantar, which Defence Secretary John Healey said had been mapping UK undersea infrastructure."
The UK is enhancing protection of undersea cables by deploying a hybrid force of autonomous vessels, crewed warships and aircraft under the Atlantic Bastion programme. The programme pairs autonomous and AI technologies with conventional naval assets to detect, deter and defeat threats posed by increased Russian submarine and surface activity, including the spy ship Yantar. Procurement for the £24 million Atlantic Net will fund lightly crewed, remotely operated or autonomous systems delivering acoustic data analyzed with artificial intelligence. The initiative names domestic and international defense firms as partners and is expected to support thousands of British jobs.
