Tech and capabilities developed by the U.S. Navy’s Task Force 59, which specializes in drones and artificial intelligence, are being considered to support Operation Prosperity Guardian. This operation, announced by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, aims to address security challenges in the southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, particularly in response to drone and missile attacks on commercial vessels in the region. While Task Force 59 is not directly participating in the operation, its technologies may play a crucial role in enabling the multinational coalition involved in Prosperity Guardian. Task Force 59 was established in 2021 to deploy uncrewed systems and AI for maritime domain awareness, making it a valuable asset in this security initiative.
