DARPA demonstriert unbemanntes Auftanken eines Drohnenschiffs auf See

From the article

>The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) demonstrated the first at-sea refueling of the No Manning Required Ship (NOMARS) program.

>A pair of unmanned surface vessels (USV) — the Ranger and the Mariner — demonstrated the task originally designed for the program’s Defiant USV.

>A long-endurance NOMARS USV is intended to be designed from the ground up without the necessity for humans on board.

>The design’s advantages include “size, cost, at-sea reliability, survivability to sea-state, and survivability to adversary actions such as stealth considerations and resistance to tampering,” [according](https://www.darpa.mil/research/programs/no-manning-required-ship) to DARPA.
