US Department of Defense High Research Planning Bureau (DARPA)This innovative program No Manning Required Ship (NOMARS)Unmanned test line developed as part of Usx-1 defiantThe first disclosure of the test video was released.
240 tons of drainage, 55 meters longThe defiant is located in Freeland, Washington Nichols Brothers Boat Builders At the shipyard SercoIt was dried by the company. The maritime test began in March 2025, which was an opportunity to open a new chapter of military engineering.

Design without manned space fundamentally
The NOMARS program aims to innovate the existing ship design. Unlike existing ships, USX-1 Designed on the premise that people do not board from the beginningIt is not included at all, and there is no space or system for crew.
According to DARPA, by completely excluding human elements, Reducing size and cost, Improve fluid mechanical efficiencyDo it, DurabilityRaise, Survival in combat situationsThe goal is to improve. This is possible through factors such as stealth, autonomy and external interference resistance.
Advanced sailing and recognition technology
In order to secure autonomous sailing and safety of Defiant, for ships FarSounderThe latest ahead scanned sona developed by Sasa Argos flsIs mounted. This sona is integrated with the navigation system to provide real -time situation recognition and support obstacle avoidance.
Also, a British company ThyrAutomatic route planning system developed by TVOSIt is also equipped, and Defiant further enhances the ability to navigate without complete human intervention.
A new era of naval war
Through the USX-1 Defiant, DARPA took a real step to the future of autonomous naval operations. Although the ship is not equipped with a combat system, the role as a test platform is Unmanned vessels with more effective, elastic, and stealth It is the basis for development. This will enable operations in a hostile environment without threatening human life.
