Graduates of the first Unmanned Maritime Systems Certification program from the University of Southern Mississippi received their certificates late last week in a ceremony marking the end of an unmanned systems demonstration in the Gulf of Mexico.
The class was created by the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command, and the 15 graduates were presented their certificates by Rear Adm. Tim Gallaudet, commander of the meteorological service.
John Meyer, deputy technical director for the command, said the program is the first of its kind in the country. It took about a year and a half to pull together, and more classes are planned.

How Increasing Autonomy Will Create More Capable Ground Robots
The problem of achieving maximum autonomy has been a focus of the ground robotics community since the advent of unmanned technology. Robots capable of performing pre-determined tasks without human involvement are awakening new industries to the potential of ground robots.
Improved autonomy in recent years has allowed diverse industries to cut costs and improve efficiency by implementing these reliable vehicles. This webinar will feature a discussion of the approaching milestones in robot autonomy and what these capabilities mean for industries facing increased competition and shifting markets. Companies already utilizing ground robots will share their perspectives on how the technology has strengthened their businesses.
