The modern naval battlefield
Looking forward, naval operations will be driven by a system of systems (SoS) where manned ships act as nodes or motherships, coordinating with various autonomous platforms. The image illustrates a modern naval battlefield where large crewed vessels enhance their capabilities by integrating with smaller uncrewed craft and autonomous air, surface, and underwater systems. These interconnected units support the manned vessel’s mission, significantly boosting surveillance and control. This approach builds a comprehensive Recognised Maritime Picture (RMP), crucial for maintaining territorial integrity and effectively monitoring vast areas over time.
Through the strength of Saab’s core areas and our continuous development, this vision of the future battlefield is not just an idea - it’s becoming reality.
