Blue Water Autonomy unveils strategy to mass produce autonomous ships

Blue Water Autonomy has introduced a multi-partner manufacturing model designed to scale the production of autonomous ships.

The Boston-based company said the system combines existing industrial capacity with software-enabled manufacturing to support the US Navy medium unmanned surface vessels programme, an initiative with funding exceeding $6 billion.

This project involves the construction of the Liberty Class, a 190-foot (57.9-metre) vessel currently being built at Conrad Shipyard.
