 UH Engineers Focus on Degradable Reconnaissance Vehicles and Evasive Drone Maneuvers
Ensuring military forces have up-to-date information about a potentially hostile region offers obvious advantages, but current methods for doing that – especially along shorelines, where underwater mines and other hazards can pose serious risks – all have drawbacks. It is especially difficult if keeping the technology out of enemy hands is a priority. |
