Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what progress the Royal Navy has made on the development of the NavyX project; and if he will make a statement.
Since being established on 1 April 2019, NavyX is pursuing 15 autonomy projects across the above-water, surface, underwater and littoral environments. Recent activity has included delivering the first live trial, integrating autonomous vessels with HMS ARGYLL at the Defence and Security Equipment International event earlier this month.
