Navy: Technology

Question

Her Majesty's Government what technology they have employed to make personnel efficiencies in the Royal Navy.

Answer

The Royal Navy (RN) continues to improve and refine the design, construction and reliability of ships and submarines while maximising technological advances: this allows complements to be smaller than previous generations. Development of autonomous systems such as unmanned underwater vehicles and underwater search and disposal systems are some of the main areas where we have experienced the greatest advances.
