During the BALTOPS 2026 exercise in Gdynia, Poland, the U.S. Navy's Unmanned Surface Vessel Division 32 showcased its capabilities by deploying global autonomous reconnaissance crafts (GARCs). This exercise, which focuses on maritime operations in the Baltic Sea, aims to enhance NATO's collective response and security. The division, established earlier this year, emphasizes the role of robotics warfare specialists trained to operate these unmanned vessels. The exercise allowed allied forces to practice defending against USVs, providing valuable experience for both the U.S. Navy and its partners. The integration of unmanned systems is seen as a crucial step for future naval operations.
