Troia, Portugal (September 9, 2025) Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic successfully completed the fastest known transatlantic crossing of an unmanned surface vessel (USV) Sept. 9, 2025, as it arrived in Troia, Portugal. The Lightfish USV completed a roughly 60-day crossing, which launched from Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, on June 30, 2025. NIWC Atlantic's Unmanned Naval Innovation Team (UNIT) monitored the vessel around the clock, tracking its progress and testing its communication capabilities throughout the journey. This fully autonomous vessel accomplished the trip nearly 12 days faster than the last known previous attempt of its kind. (U.S. Navy photo by Joe Bullinger/Released)
