Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (UUVs) are among the latest undersea warfare capabilities in various stages of development and delivery to the warfighter. Fielding of these systems serve both as force multipliers and risk reduction agents and offer new efficiencies to the operational commander with regard to the factors of space, time, and forces. While the integration of UUVs into maritime missions is steadily proceeding, existing maritime law on the rules governing these systems is ambiguous at best. When this new technology converges with traditional maritime law, the challenges create fog and friction that may hinder their full exploitation and potential. Understanding the relevant issues surrounding this, recommendations will be made to enable maximum use of UUVs by the Operational Commander.
