Watch: U.S. Navy Sea Drone Rescues Downed Apache Crew Near Strategically Vital Hormuz Strait!

In a historic military first, an autonomous U.S. Navy sea drone successfully rescued two stranded U.S. Army aviators after their AH-64 Apache helicopter went down near the Strait of Hormuz off Oman. The 24-foot unmanned surface vessel, named Corsair, built by Saronic Technologies and operated by the 5th Fleet's AI-focused Task Force 59 used advanced 360-degree passive sensors to locate the crew within hours. Capable of speeds over 35 knots, the drone securely ferried the pilots out of the contested combat zone to a safe maritime handoff point, redefining the future of combat search-and-rescue operations.
