US Planning More ‘Robots at Sea’ in Middle East to Combat Iran

The US is trying to convince Middle East allies to add dozens more robot vessels around the Arabian Peninsula to better detect threats from countries like Iran, a move to protect waterways vital to global commerce and oil trade.

The US, which leads two international maritime coalitions out of Bahrain, wants to have more than 100 unmanned surface vehicles — sometimes called robots at sea — in operation by the end of the summer, Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, who commands the coalitions and the Bahrain-based Fifth Fleet, said in an interview.

An initial target of 50 was met in February and the technology delivers a cost-effective and efficient way of deepening US partnerships, he said, the Financial Post reported.
