Sullivan’s Island, SC (June 30, 2025) Engineers with Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic's Unmanned Naval Innovation Team (UNIT) launched an Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) in late June to attempt the first-ever transatlantic crossing by a self-driven boat. The USV took to the sea out of Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, bound for Portugal - a trip that is expected to take more than 60 days to accomplish. UNIT engineers will be collecting, monitoring and analyzing data collected from the USV's onboard sensors as it makes its way across the ocean, providing a valuable proving ground for future capabilities.
