Un-crewed underwater vehicle (UUV) technology, initially designed for marine conservation, is being repurposed for covert maritime surveillance and potential military applications. This shift underscores the dual-use nature of emerging technologies and their implications for modern navies.Learning Outcomes
- Understand the dual-use nature of emerging technologies: Recognize how innovations in marine conservation can transition into military applications.
- Analyse the implications for ADF operations: Assess how the integration of UUVs into military strategies can enhance covert surveillance capabilities.
- Evaluate ethical considerations: Discuss the ethical implications of repurposing technologies designed for environmental monitoring for military use.
