> Advanced technologies are becoming central to international competition at sea, Russian presidential aide and Marine Board Chairman Nikolay Patrushev said. He cited unmanned navigation, robotics, artificial intelligence, big-data analysis, microelectronics and innovative ship powerplants as elements of a new maritime economy. Patrushev said Russia still lacks an integrated end-to-end system for maritime technological development and needs technological sovereignty for national security.
