HD Hyundai and Anduril put an uncrewed ship through its paces off Long Beach

A modified 368-ton former U.S. Navy vessel ran a 3.5-hour demonstration of autonomous navigation, mid-mission changes and simulated engine failures in front of about 40 U.S. and South Korean officials. HD Hyundai calls it the first such test by a South Korean company in U.S. waters and plans to pursue U.S. Navy programs with the technology.
