Iran's recent seizure of unmanned US Navy boats shined a light on a pioneering Pentagon program to develop networks of air, surface and underwater drones for patrolling large regions, meshing their surveillance with artificial intelligence.The year-old program operates numerous unmanned surface vessels, or USVs, in the waters around the Arabian peninsula, gathering data and images to be beamed back to collection centers in the Gulf.

A U.S. Coast Guard fast response cutter interdicted a fishing vessel smuggling illegal drugs worth an estimated U.S. street value of $20 million while patrolling the Gulf of Oman, Aug.

The international community seems indifferent to the risks of Iranian hostile behavior and intrusion through its support of Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

More trouble may await U.S. vessels unless officials work resolutely to protect them and establish effective guidelines for their safe operation.

Since the Army gets very little bang for its buck, presumably by design, why should its social media campaigns be any better?

Following an early attempt at piracy last week of a Saildrone Explorer, the Iranian navy seized two more drones in the Red Sea until two US navy destroyers compelled them to release them.

Iran's navy captured two U.S. Navy drones in the Red Sea on Thursday before releasing them on Friday, officials said.

The US says Iran was trying to capture the unmanned surface vessel, while Iran says it was trying to ensure safety of navigation. With the US updating its commander’s handbook to categorise such unmanned vessels as warships, there are likely to be more similar incidents in the Gulf and elsewhere.
