    The image shows an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) operating on open water near a coastal residential area. The vessel is gray and black with orange markings and bears the text 'KEEP BACK - USV', indicating it is an autonomous or remotely operated watercraft. Palm trees and uniform tan-colored buildings are visible in the background, suggesting a Southern California or similar coastal environment.

    The Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) underwent a Field User Evaluation (FUE) which allowed Marines to receive hands-on practical application and testing in Camp Pendleton, CA, August 17-28, 2026. During the event, fleet users learned how to utilize waypoint navigation, deploy targets, verify locations, and finally put the system to the test on the water. The testing afforded Marines the opportunity to give feedback on the system to the program office during the development phase to ensure relevance and human-system interface in a near-operational environment.
