The unmanned vehicle - dubbed the Weaponized Autonomous System Prototype (WASP) - was integrated by the team with a UAV to provide an aerial perspective for increased situational awareness. Navy civilian and military personnel witnessed the Mission 22 demonstration of CANARES as it quickly and effectively detected, tracked, and engaged target after target on the Potomac River Test Range at a September demonstration. For more news and information on CANARES technology and its demonstration, the full story - U.S. Navy Mission 22 Team Develops 'Game Changing' Unmanned Capability - is available via this link: http://www.navsea.navy.mil/Media/News/Article/1369371/us-navy-mission-22-team-develops-game-changing-unmanned-capability.
