The US Navy has a cool new trick up its sleeve , its unmanned boats can now autonomously swarm enemy targets. The technology is called CARACaS (Control Architecture for Robotic Agent Command and Sensing) and it can be fitted on any boat, allowing it to operate either autonomously, or as a part of a “swarm.”

The U.S. Navy is getting ready to “swarm” its adversaries.
