US Navy

The US Navy has launched a new autonomous systems warfighting center aimed at preparing sailors for robot warfare. The facility will focus on training personnel to operate and integrate unmanned and autonomous technologies into naval operations, reflecting the military's broader push to adapt to a future battlefield increasingly shaped by robotic systems.

The US Navy's W93/Mk7 nuclear warhead program has moved into a new phase of development, advancing efforts to build the next-generation submarine-launched warhead intended for the Navy's future ballistic missile submarines. The program, run with the National Nuclear Security Administration, has drawn attention because of its cost, long timeline, and role in US strategic nuclear modernization.
