U.S. Navy Tests Firestorm FPV Drone Factory Aboard USS Essex Amphibious Ship for At-Sea Production
The US Navy tested a Firestorm first-person-view drone production capability aboard USS Essex. The concept explores at-sea manufacture of small uncrewed systems. Shipboard production could shorten resupply timelines and enable rapid adaptation of drone designs. The test supports distributed maritime logistics and unmanned warfare experimentation.
