Navies are increasingly deploying unmanned, shore-monitored systems to detect sea mines instead of traditional mine-hunting vessels that carry around 80 sailors. These autonomous systems can be operated by roughly 20 personnel working in shifts on land, building on technology first tested by the US Navy's Remus 100 underwater robot during the 2003 Iraq war.
