The Royal Navy has outlined its plans for a “hybrid navy” and expanded use of uncrewed systems during a visit by United States Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll to Portsmouth, UK Defence Journal reports.
Driscoll, who oversees modernisation and resource allocation for around one million US Army personnel and 250,000 civilian staff, met First Sea Lord General Sir Gwyn Jenkins and senior Royal Navy leaders. The discussions focused on how the UK intends to adapt its force structure, integrate autonomous platforms and remain “warfighting ready” as outlined in the Strategic Defence Review.
