Navy, Marines to focus on increasing drone infrastructure
by Christen Mccurdy
Washington DC (UPI) Mar 16, 2021

The Navy and Marine Corps plan to build a digital infrastructure to integrate drone capabilities, per a strategy the services released Tuesday.

In addition to drone-specific infrastructure plans, the 40-page Unmanned Campaign Plan includes plans to incentivize rapid development and testing of unmanned systems and advance manned-unmanned teaming effects across naval and joint operations.

"The Navy and Marine Corps unmanned campaign plan serves as a roadmap for how we will realize a future where unmanned systems serve as an integral part of the Navy's warfighting team in support of distributed maritime operations," Vice Adm. Jim Kilby said in a Navy press release announcing the strategy's release.

"The plan lays out how we will scale tested and proven systems as well as develop the core technologies required to successfully integrate unmanned systems into the fleet," said Kilby who is deputy chief of naval operations for warfighting requirements and capabilities.

The framework is intended to provide a strategy for integrating drone systems the services are developing in order to provide lethal, survivable and scalable effects for maritime drones in the future.

"Today's global security environment has seen a return to Great Power Competition," the Navy said in the release.

"This shift has placed the Department of the Navy at an inflection point where a traditional force structure will not be enough in the face of new warfighting demands. Autonomous systems are not a replacement -- they provide additional capacity and capability to our combatant force and allows commanders the ability to accept risk where they couldn't before."

LMT collaborates with Dimetor to enable connectivity in VLL airspace
Riga, Latvia (SPX) Mar 16, 2021
Mobile innovator LMT and software company Dimetor have partnered to explore the integration of drones into VLL (very low level) airspace. This builds on earlier collaboration where the two companies succeeded in validating the viability of BVLOS drone flights using mobile networks. The current collaboration entails investigative research into the theoretical and practical possibilities of using the mobile network to drive the inclusion of UAVs into air traffic. A critical component of the research ... read more
