Hull Cleaning Robotics: Army Beats Navy – the Hegseth Way!
Sticking to legacy tactics won't beat China — adopt Secretary Hegseth's and the Army initiatives or surrender the edge.In a recent address, Admiral Christopher Grady, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, underscored the urgent need for a robotic hull-cleaning system to enable anytime maintenance, reduce drag, boost speed, and minimize fuel consumption for naval vessels. Hearing this, I immediately recognized an opportunity for the U.S. Army to step up and drive maritime innovation forward—at wartime speed. We transformed that vision into reality in record time, successfully demonstrating the technology on an Army Logistics Support Vessel (LSV) in Pearl Harbor last month.
Class NK GDA for World First Vessel Tank Tech
