U.S. Navy, SOUTHCOM Gets Tsunami USVs

U.S. Southern Command has received Tsunami-class Unmanned Surface Vehicles, expanding autonomous maritime patrol capability in the Western Hemisphere. The Tsunami USVs will support counter-narcotics, maritime domain awareness, and persistent surveillance missions across SOUTHCOM's vast area of responsibility. Their deployment to SOUTHCOM represents one of the first operational USV assignments outside the Indo-Pacific and Middle East theaters. The move signals growing confidence in USV reliability for real-world operational missions.
