The Royal Navy bought twenty new sea drones from a UK company called Kraken. They're flash units with autonomous capability and are designed to work in swarms.
https://krakentechnology.com/platforms/k3-scout
However the K3 drones failed a routine cyber-vulnerability assessment when it was discovered that their cameras were pinging a Chinese IP address. The UK has a policy banning Chinese tech from military equipment.
Whoops!

A few weeks ago, we visited the #FleetAirArmMuseum as it used to be called, which is in #Yeovilton. The #FleetAirArm is that part of the #RoyalNavy associated with #Aviation, mainly helicopters but also fixed-wing #Aeroplanes. Its official title now is Royal Navy Museum, Naval Aviation. There’s lots of hardware and #Engineering to be seen there and I recommend you go there but it’s a little out of the way and probably not as renowned as other #Museums.

The Blackburn firebrand was a carrier based strike fighter of the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. Originally designed as a fighter, its low performance led to a redesign as a strike fighter.https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/blackburn-firebrand/ #BlackburnFirebrand #TorpedoFighter #StrikeAircraft #RoyalNavy #FleetAirArm #fighter #fighterplane #plane #aeroplane #aircraft #airplane #aviation #aerialwarfare #military #navy #naval #navalaviation
