Paper: Using Uncrewed Surface Vehicles for Maritime Domain Awareness in Arabian Gulf

Session: Remotely Operated Vehicles

Date/Time: Wednesday, September 27, 9:00 AM

Location: D9

Presenting Author: Julie Angus, CEO & Co-Founder Open Ocean Robotics


Abstract: In 2022 and 2023, Open Ocean Robotics (OOR) participated in two significant U.S. Navy exercises for uncrewed vehicles in the Arabian Gulf – Digital Horizons 2022 (DH22) and the International Maritime Exercise 2023 (IMX23). This demonstrated the capabilities of an OOR Data Xplorer Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV) to continuously observe surrounding waters for the purpose of Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA). The importance of this type of work was highlighted by the creation of Task Force 59 within the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet in order to test existing USV technologies, as well as Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles, to significantly expand use of such for MDA.
