Pedigree of the Sea Hunter family[edit]

Folks, the existing article mentions that Vigor built Sea Hunter, which is true. What it leaves out is the design history and discussion of the autonomy development. Leidos, Inc. was the prime contractor on Sea Hunter, and the follow on Seahawk (which is not mentioned in the article). Leidos designed the vessel, developed the autonomy and was the prime contractor under the original DARPA contract. The builder of the Seahawk was United States Marine, Inc. in Gulfport, MS. Other details that might improve the article could include discussion of the autonomy engine (which is based on open architecture). Several open source articles can verify what I have said including: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/11/navy-next-drone-warship-sea-hunter.html

Since this field is growing rapidly, perhaps a more comprehensive Wiki page on all USVs would be warranted and include vessels from L3Harris (ASV) and others. Crf59 (talk) 00:05, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
