Sea Hunter and Seahawk are the first autonomous medium unmanned surface vessels (MUSVs) operated by the U.S. Navy. Like the Overlord program, the U.S. Navy is using Sea Hunter and Seahawk as prototypes for research and experimentation. Major goals of research and experimentation efforts with Sea Hunter and Seahawk are to determine the most effective way to utilize USVs in operations and how to best integrate them into the Fleet.
