Unmanned Surface Vehicle
Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), also known as unmanned surface vessels, autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) in some cases, uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), or colloquially drone ships, or robot boats, are boats or ships that operate on the surface of the water without a crew. USVs operate with various levels of autonomy, from remote control to fully autonomous. Some commercial USVs may utilize COLREGs-compliant navigation. USVs were used militarily as early as World War II for remote controlled target craft and minesweeper purposes, they are becoming more widely used in the twenty-first century for a range of purposes including oceanography and environmental monitoring, as well as cargo transport, and military applications. Various other applications are also being explored. In October 2022 during the Russian invasion of Ukraine Ukraine armed forces used 7 USVs and 8 UAVs in an attack on multiple Russian naval vessels at the Sevastopol Naval Base.
