Requested by Congress, this study will assess, identify, and make recommendations on key considerations to guide the U.S. Coast Guard’s priorities for developing, testing, and deploying unmanned technologies for maritime domain awareness applications. As part of the assessment, the committee will also examine USCG policies, procedures, and protocols that can have a bearing on the adoption and use of the assessed technologies and identify, as appropriate, any adjustments to them having the potential to facilitate technology adoption and use.
