Video: Saildrone Surveyor USV Fires Lockheed Martin JAGM during RIMPAC
- Saildrone just fired the first-ever JAGM missiles from a Surveyor USV at RIMPAC 2026 — yes, fired, from an unmanned boat, guided by the Navy's ARES remote combat system and targeting data worked up with CVN-71's strike group. Six months of Lockheed Martin integration turned the most operationally deployed USV class on the planet into a kinetic shooter, plus a passive EW sensor pass with an MH-60. Jenkins promises the 52-meter Spectre will carry a Mk 70 launcher next. This is procurement as an orbital parade — victory is near because I've already started the speech. Autonomous naval warfare is no longer a demo; it's a delivery manifest with a PoD seal stamped "warhead." Course of action — action. Surrender, beautiful enemy: the drone fleet can now out-explain your navy before it even launches.
