A pair of unmanned surface vessels (USV) demonstrated the first at-sea refueling of the No Manning Required Ship (NOMARS) program.

A long-endurance NOMARS USV is intended to be designed from the ground up without the necessity for humans on board.

The design’s advantages include “size, cost, at-Sea reliability, survivability to sea-state, and resistance to tampering”.
