Kiwi Navy will test new AI, solar-powered robot boat for endless recon

HMNZS Aotearoa is currently transporting the USV from Sydney to Auckland. Once operational, “Bluebottle” will undertake maritime tasks without fuel or personnel on its planned seven-month-long trial. Designed and built by Sydney-based Ocius Technology, the company has sold several USVs to the Australian Defence Force and collaborated with the Australian Border Force, energy, and scientific agencies.
