The Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV) serves multiple roles within the U.S. Navy as an affordable and flexible option. It boasts low-cost mass-producible traits for quick fleet deployment. Adm. Caudle indicated that the previous Large Unmanned Surface Vessel was too costly and limited in mission capability. His objective is to integrate unmanned systems with manned platforms. The recent Modular Attack Surface Craft (MASC) program aims to create smaller vessels that can support warships and adapt to evolving threats, inviting innovative solutions in vessel construction and technology.
Adm. Daryl L. Caudle stated that the Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV) is an affordable and flexible vessel capable of filling multiple roles within the U.S. Navy fleet.
Adm. Caudle emphasized that the Large Unmanned Surface Vessel was an exquisite single-mission vessel, unaffordable and mission-restricted, and that his vision includes integrating unmanned systems with manned platforms.
The Navy announced the Modular Attack Surface Craft (MASC) program, which aims to develop smaller unmanned surface vessels capable of carrying significant payloads like missiles.
The MASC program seeks to leverage cutting-edge technologies and modular design principles to create solutions that effectively counter evolving maritime threats.
