After past damage to undersea cables, Denmark will boost their surveillance of Baltic Sea/North Sea waters by deploying four uncrewed surface vessels — about 10 meters long — that are equipped with drones and also AI, reports Euronews.The founder/CEO of the company that makes the vessels — Saildrone — says they'll work "like a truck" that "carries the sensors."
