The first robo-boat started combat duty
Now it became clear that the developers of GTA and other games where there are boats and boats, in fact, secretly prepare the sailors of the future.
The fact is that the other day the US Navy received from the company General Dynamic the first copy of a robotic boat, code-named ASW USV (Anti-Submarine Warfare Unmanned Surface Vehicle).

By analogy with unmanned aerial vehicles, the device can be called an “unmanned boat”. By the way, the word "pilot" used to designate a pilot in the maritime business. So the analogy is more than true - the boat is able to independently plot a course and make autonomous transitions by sea.
The control panels of such boats are equipped with joysticks and monitors. And from the operator of such a boat it is quite possible to take for a real gamer.
Basically the boat is remotely controlled by the operator. However, according to General Dynamic, the device can independently follow the route "from point to point", as well as swim in a given area or near a given point.
ASW USV is designed to protect large ships from mines, submarines and speedboats. The armament of the robo-boat is not specified, moreover - in the official photo he is depicted without any weapons at all. But reported payload, which can withstand the new product - more than 2000 kilograms.
Until now, such devices have been tested only as part of an experiment. The robo-boat from General Dynamic became the first working copy which arrived at the disposal of the US Navy.
