An unmanned robotic ship designed to help the U.S. military hunt enemy submarines has completed its first tests at sea. The 132-foot "Sea Hunter" unmanned surface vessel (USV) is still getting its figurative sea legs, but the anti-submarine warfare (ASW) performance tests off the coast of San Diego have steered the project on a course to enter the U.S. Navy's fleet by 2018. The Sea Hunter "surpassed all performance objectives for speed, maneuverability, stability, sea keeping, acceleration/deceleration ,and fuel consumption," say officials at Leidos, the company developing the Sea Hunter.
