Arlington, Va. - Today, the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) responded to the release of the U.S. Department of the Navy’s Unmanned Campaign Framework. The plan will guide the Navy’s execution toward its goal of increasing unmanned platforms in its fleet through the coming decade and its work with the unmanned vehicle systems industry.
 
“AUVSI applauds the Department of the Navy for its leadership in identifying opportunities to improve readiness through autonomous air, maritime surface and undersea, and ground systems. As the global defense landscape rapidly adapts to complex technologies, the substantive plans in this framework will further cement U.S. military competitiveness,” said Brian Wynne, AUVSI President and CEO. “Just last week, AUVSI was proud to host the first industry tour of the Navy’s war room for the Unmanned Campaign Framework at the Pentagon. The autonomous industry is prepared to collaborate closely with the Navy in testing emerging systems, quickly and at-scale, and AUVSI will continue to lead the cooperative effort between industry and the DoD.”
