 The Navy cooperates with numerous maritime partners, sharing assets and capabilities to conduct counter-drug operations. And now they're trying new and cutting-edge ways to fight international crime. Tech Sergeant Ryan McKee tells us more about the Navy's new technology. The West Fourth Fleet is testing an innovative way to combine technology and people to give a better, more cost-effective way for future counter-drug operations. The goal is to fight international organized crime by combining an Aristat unmanned blimp, Puma UAV, and Coast Guard law enforcement groups. The combination of the three is new in particular to the Navy, definitely the first time in my career that I've ever seen three assets like this on one particular mission. Abort the HSV-2 Swift, the teams have worked together for three days, ironing out wrinkles and using the special capabilities of the ship to refine their own tactics. Everything that we really like is the maneuverability of the ship. Being able to position the ship so that we have the right kind of wins and the right kind of platform direction is critical. The Swift and its personnel will next embark on a three-week, real-world operation off the coast of Central America, using their newfound eyes in the sky to track down smugglers. No matter how much you sit down and listen to briefs or read capabilities and limitations until you see them work and until you see them integrate, I really don't think you can be aware of how potent and how successful they can be.
