The core development is the conduct of an at-sea refueling operation involving a Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) during a recent demonstration off Southern California. The drill occurred as the Navy advances the integration of unmanned systems into carrier strike group operations in preparation for a deployment with the Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group later this year. A USNS Guadalupe (T-AO 200) oiler executed the replenishment-at-sea, performing an astern replenishment to support the unmanned platform. The maneuver showcased how sustainment ships can service unmanned assets at sea while preserving the carrier group’s tempo.
