The integration of uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) with Virginia-class nuclear-powered submarines is transforming undersea warfare. This breakthrough enhances autonomous launch and recovery, extends stealth and survivability, and strengthens electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations in even the most complex undersea environments.

Join Hudson Institute’s Bryan Clark for a panel discussion on how crewed-uncrewed teaming and advanced electronic warfare integration are redefining undersea dominance. The conversation will explore the next generation of autonomous maritime defense, where stealth, surveillance, and strike capabilities promise to reach new heights.
