The U.S. Coast Guard is actively seeking new technologies to counter China's growing fleet of subsea drones. Recognizing a gap in maritime defense, the agency is requesting information on commercially available systems capable of detecting, tracking, and disabling these unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). While detection and tracking technologies exist, the Coast Guard is particularly interested in solutions that can actively stop UUVs, given their increasing use in both civilian and military operations for intelligence gathering, smuggling, and potential sabotage.
