According to information published by the US DoD on November 23, 2022, U.S. 5th Fleet began a three-week unmanned and artificial intelligence integration event in Bahrain that will involve employing new platforms in the region for the first time. Various unmanned systems sit on display in Manama, Bahrain. The event, called Digital Horizon, will advance the command's efforts to integrate new unmanned technologies while establishing the world's first unmanned surface vessel fleet by end of next summer. U.S. 5th Fleet's efforts are focused on improving what U.S. and regional navies are able to see above, on and below the water. Digital Horizon will include 17 industry partners bringing 15 different types of systems, 10 of which will operate with U.S. 5th Fleet for the first time.
