Welcome to the CavasShips Podcast with Christopher P. Cavas and Chris Servello…a weekly podcast looking at naval and maritime events and issues of the day – in the US, across the seas and around the world. This week…A growing fleet of more than 100 unmanned surface vessels is expected to be fielded by mid-2023 in the US Central Command operating area, according to the head of the Bahrain-based US Fleet Fleet. We’ll hear from Vice Admiral Brad Cooper on his plans to greatly expand the use of unmanned and manned vessels and integrate their data using artificial intelligence. Plus a look at what naval forces can gain from some of the new weaponry and technology on display this past week at the US Army’s huge trade show in Washington. But first, a look at some naval news this week.
