No captain, my captain: Navantia floats crewless warship
Navantia has introduced the Large Autonomous Surface Vessel (LASV75), a 75-meter uncrewed warship designed to enhance naval operations. This vessel features a modular design for various missions and is expected to be more cost-effective than traditional crewed ships. It aims to support the Royal Navy's hybrid navy concept and provide enhanced surveillance and escort capabilities in the North Atlantic.
- ▪The LASV75 is a 75-meter drone vessel developed by Navantia's UK arm.
- ▪It is designed to be entirely uncrewed, with no crew spaces or bridge.
- ▪The vessel's modular design allows for adaptability in mission payloads and engineering systems.
