An interesting observation can be made by keen watchers if they check the latest US Navy budget document.
Exploring the possibility of arming small uncrewed surface vessels, or USVs, with Stinger missiles is an idea being considered by the U.S. Navy.
The Navy's budget request for the 2024 Fiscal Year includes information on what it is currently calling Multi-domain Area Denial from Small-USV, or MADS.
The service is asking for $5 million to support this experimentation effort. US Navy has indicated that the experimental examples will be based on the Greenough Advanced Rescue Craft (GARC) design.
