With sea conditions limiting accuracy of surface naval equipment, there is an increased need for a motion dampened platform with modular robots strong enough to withstand the rough sea conditions while still moving and aiming accurately in a swarm. With individual operating systems lacking speed and accuracy, a multi modular system would allow each module to have high precision in a small window with the neighbored modules working together to cover a full area. Instead of one large robot being responsible for an entire zone with a heavier payload, a swarm system would give each module its own smaller payload to increase the speed and make the system more reliable overall. Rather than having the limited functionality of a large, man operated device the system will be able to modify its shape to fit various needs, transitioning between convex, concave, and other parabolic structures, all on its own making it far more versatile while also removing the need for constant human operation.
Unmanned surface vessels face constant motion, vibration, and harsh environmental exposure that disrupt precision and system reliability. High winds, corrosion, and debris demand platforms that can withstand and adapt to unpredictable conditions. Naval operations therefore require robotic systems that are both resilient and highly adaptable, maintaining speed, accuracy, and dependable performance despite continuous environmental and mechanical challenges.
