According to information published by the UK Navy on June 2, 2021, for the first time, the Navy has driven a fast stealth boat in the Solent, controlling it remotely from land. Commanded by a laptop, tablet, and two sailors in a tent overlooking the water at Browndown Beach in Gosport, the MADFOX autonomous boat was used to test the theory – and practice – of operating a boat from ashore, using it to monitor Solent shipping from afar.
