Textron Systems' Fleet-class Common Unmanned Surface Vessels (CUSV) successfully demonstrated the ability to conduct collaborative unmanned mine-hunting and mine-neutralization operations during the Trident Warrior 2012 U.S. Navy Fleet Experiment, July 9--20, at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. The CUSV team executed real-time, mine warfare detect-to-engage scenarios on six separate occasions, during which two CUSVs controlled by one operator from a single control station detected and prosecuted "exercise" mines in a minefield laid by the U.S. Navy.
