The squadron is the Navy's second as the service explores autonomous technologies.
An unmanned Global Autonomous Reconnaissance Craft moves through San Diego Bay during a demonstration at Naval Base Coronado on Friday, May 17, 2024.
The Ventura-based squadron works with medium and large USVs, while the new San Diego unit will focus on small ones. The service is still experimenting with how best to use the technology, said Lt. Nicole Kim, the squadron's experimentation lead. She said she's happy to be working on the leading edge of this technology.
