Watch this video from the US Navy about the advantages of NATO Unmanned Systems at Sea...

NATO Allies face many challenges as they patrol and defend their maritime areas, including the detection and clearing of mines, the monitoring and protection of sea lines of communication and underwater cables, maritime situational awareness, and finding and tracking submarines. In order to tackle these challenges, NATO Allies are working together to develop and procure innovative maritime solutions.

NATO’s Maritime Unmanned Systems (MUS) initiative was launched in 2018 and involves 16 NATO Allies and NATO partner Australia. It allows countries to pool their resources, talent and ingenuity to create better, more flexible and more interoperable unmanned maritime vehicles and systems.
