A push to strengthen maritime autonomy in defense is taking shape in the US, as Hanwha Defense USA and Magnet Defense partner to develop a medium uncrewed surface vessel (MUSV).

Work also includes the development of AI-driven robotic shipyards and collaboration on advanced AI software for integration into the MUSV.
