 Robot boats are being recruited to chase pirates on the high seas. Both Israel and Singapore have deployed the Protector — a 30 ft Unmanned Surface Vehicle equipped with machine gun — in their efforts to stop piracy. A British defense firm has built an unarmed jet-ski sized USV, designed for intruder investigation. In this capacity, it could scout unidentified craft, such as the raft that attacked the USS Cole in the waters of Yemen in 2000.
