\"UNMANNED<\/a><\/p>\n

The Royal Navy is staging its first \u2018robot wars\u2019 next autumn to give companies the chance to demonstrate their latest technology in a realistic work-out during Exercise Joint Warrior 16\/2 off Scotland.<\/p>\n

Unmanned Warrior will provide an international showcase for industry as firms demonstrate what their autonomous systems can do for naval warfare.<\/p>\n

The delegates, who attended a three-day planning conference at QinetiQ in Gosport, included representatives from NATO\u2019s Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation, who will be sending their research vessel Alliance to the exercise.<\/p>\n

The unmanned systems to be demonstrated include those which can be used in surveys, anti-submarine warfare, ISTAR and minehunting.<\/p>\n

Fleet robotics officer Commander Peter Pipkin said: \u201cNext year is going to see the first of its kind demonstration in Unmanned Warrior, a unique and innovative challenge to deliver the Royal Navy\u2019s vision for autonomous systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unmanned Warrior is the brainchild of First Sea Lord Admiral Sir George Zambellas, whose forward-thinking was praised in a closing speech at the conference by Fleet Commander Vice-Admiral Sir Philip Jones.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst Sea Lord is an instinctive innovator and exploiter of modern technology,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re up for new ideas, new concepts and new technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our view the unique selling point of Unmanned Warrior is its ability to provide a playground, if you like, in which we can simultaneously demonstrate unmanned systems and do so across a range of warfare disciplines.
\n\u201cWe see for you a clear opportunity to shape the future of not just the Royal Navy but a raft of our partners.\u201d<\/p>\n
