DANISH MILITARY USING ROBOTIC SAILBOATS FOR SURVEILLANCE IN BALTIC AND NORTH SEAS
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
Denmark's armed forces are trialing uncrewed robotic sailboats known as Voyagers. The 10-meter-long vessels carry no crew and are designed for surveillance. Powered by wind and solar energy, they can operate autonomously for months at sea. The vessels carry advanced sensors, including radar, infrared and optical cameras, and sonar. They are aimed at identifying maritime threats like damage to undersea cables, illegal fishing, and smuggling.
