Navy Explores New Command Structure for Unmanned Capabilities
The Navy is exploring the possibility of establishing a robotic autonomous systems (RAS) commander to oversee unmanned capabilities. According to Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle, this role would enable the Navy to better integrate and control RAS in its command structure. The ‘Fighting Instructions’ framework outlines plans for employing RAS, but details are still being developed. Breaking Defense reports that the Navy is tackling an ‘unmanned dilemma’ of how to organize RAS capabilities.
