Royal Navy Reveals Future Vision Based on Autonomous Technology
The U.K. Defence Department's 2030 vision for the country's armed forces proposes investing billions of pounds across the land, air, sea, cyber, and space domains, to enable fast responses to equally swift changes in the field.

The Royal Navy has shown off its future vision, which could shape how the British fleet operates over the next 50 years.

Concept imagery shows an enormous flying drone station based in the stratosphere, an underwater flagship vessel, uncrewed attack crafts housing autonomous boats, and much more.
"In a future scenario if we find ourselves unable to compete traditionally in terms of mass, we must think differently if we are to regain operational advantage," Second Sea Lord, Vice Admiral Nick Hine said.
