Unmanned Surface Vehicles Market Scope
Autonomy and unmanned systems have evolved significantly in recent decades, becoming an intrinsic sign of progress for various sectors and domains, including the ocean. The progression of an unmanned surface vehicle research concept to a commercial product and related services is depicted in this paper (USV). It should be noted that, in most cases, it has not always been simple due to technological, business, and policy constraints. An overview of current trends in USV technology in search of a baseline to understand the sector, including some of the author's personal experiences. The analysis presented here demonstrates a multidisciplinary approach to the field. Today, USV's capabilities and applications include a wide range of operations and services aimed specifically at meeting the needs of the maritime industry. This critical issue for USV has yet to be resolved, but progress is being made. The International Journal of Marine Navigation and Sea Transportation envisions flexibility in both complex environments and dangerous missions. The addition of more robust, commercially available, and affordable navigation equipment, wireless telemetry systems, "blue" power sources, and trending intelligent-analytics technologies has significantly expanded and improved the range of applications for USV in key domains and sectors such as scientific research, environmental missions, ocean exploration, military uses, and other applications.

Market Leaders and their expansionary development strategies
Under a memorandum of understanding signed in November 2021, Israel Aerospace Industries and Emirati defense conglomerate Edge Group will collaborate to design unmanned surface vessels with a "range of military and commercial applications."
In June 2022, Maritime Robotics launched the Mariner X, a new multipurpose unmanned surface vehicle (USV) platform with a configurable design and built for high-quality data acquisition at sea. The platform is powered by Maritime Robotics' market-leading software and can accommodate a wide range of sensors and other equipment selected by the operator.
Policy and law concerning AS and UxS is developing and states are at varying stages regarding the development and regulation of these systems. While many nations have some strategies and policies related to these systems, there is little consensus on system-specific laws or policies at the international level. As a result, the laws that apply, especially internationally, are significantly older than the advanced technology that AS and UxS represent and were not written to apply to these cutting-edge systems. While this does not make them inherently incompatible, it does not provide a comprehensive approach to the challenges inherent in the design and use of these systems. For example, treaties such as UNCLOS were not created to apply to these types of advanced technology. As a result, UNCLOS applies but with limitations and leaving outstanding legal and policy questions.
