This episode is part of our Bleeding Edge series, where we discuss new concepts and emerging technologies.My guest today is Commander Jeremiah Daley, a highly decorated U.S. Navy Officer who is currently serving as the Commanding Officer of Unmanned Surface Vessel Division One (USVDIV-1), which is a unit of Surface Development Squadron One, which is located at Naval Station San Diego.USVs or Unmanned Surface Vessels, are growing in numbers, and leading the way with this technology is the United States Navy, which is currently testing 2 types of USVs at the Rim of the Pacific exercise, otherwise known as RIMPAC.The two types of USVs being tested are: the Medium-size Sea Hunter and Seahawk; and the Large-size Nomad and Ranger. This exercise is the first time that all 4 of these vessels operated together.These unmanned and remotely operated vessels extend the capability of interconnected manned platform sensors to enhance capacity across the multinational force.Commander Daley speaks about their employment during RIMPAC, which concludes today, 4 August 2022. We'd like to thank Commander Daley for his time to speak with us -- and we are proud that Go Bold was the first podcast where he participated as a guest. Thank you, Sir!Go Bold!
