The Pentagon’s Strategic Capabilities Office, or SCO, is adding two more unmanned surface vessels, or USVs, to its secretive Ghost Fleet Overlord program. For security reasons, SCO has not revealed the name of the firms that are developing its new vessels. Interestingly SCO has announced that it will transfer the two existing USVs it has been testing to the U.S Navy in January 2022. This indicates that the USVs are meeting basic criteria and are ready to take the next trip. Viewers may note that the Ghost Fleet Overlord program was initiated in 2017 and aims to field a group of autonomous surface vessels. In this video Defines Updates analyses how U.S. Navy is expanding its 'Ghost Fleet' with the planned addition of two new Large Unmanned Surface Vessels (LUSV)? .
