Sikorsky Aircraft CorporationSitting on the runway in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, one of Sikorsky’s pilots in an S-70™ BLACK HAWK® helicopter flips the optionally piloted cockpit switch from two to zero, exits the aircraft and walks across the runway.

Drone Boats: Inside the U.S. Navy’s Latest Unmanned AI Tech

"Drone Boats: Inside the U.S. Navy’s Latest Unmanned AI Tech"Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Naval forces in the Middle East, established Task Force 59 to rapidly integrate commercially-made drone boats and pair them with artificial intelligence.

I sat down for an exclusive interview with Admiral Cooper during the 5th Fleet’s Digital Horizon exercise in Bahrain to talk about how cutting-edge technologies like AI, drone boats and more are helping the military see from “seabed to space.”
