A panel on the future of long duration maritime autonomy

We present a summary of a panel on long-duration maritime autonomy (LDMA) taking place at IEEE OCEANS 2015, Washington, DC. The panelists include Drs. Jason Stack and Theresa Paluszkiewicz of the Office of Naval Research, Dr. Geoffery Hollinger of Oregon State University, Rafael Rodriguez of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division, and Clayton Jones of Teledyne Webb Research. The panelists come from key stakeholders within the maritime autonomy domain: academia, government, and industry. These differing points of view will give unique insights into the history and future of long-duration maritime autonomy.
