Marine robotics, underwater drones, AI, and useful productivity signals.

Uncrewed underwater systems are moving toward a much larger scale. China’s reported development of a giant submarine-like drone highlights the growing interest in XXLUUVs and their potential role in long-duration autonomous maritime operations. Read

The signal here is continued momentum around operational autonomy at sea: perception, endurance, reliability, and the boring-but-critical integration work that turns prototypes into field tools.

José angle: this is close to OceanScan territory — autonomy, mission robustness, operator tooling, data products, and how underwater systems become dependable enough for real work.
