The U.S. Navy announced on December 20 that it had completed the first operation demonstration of the MQ-25 "Stingray" unmanned tanker on the USS Bush aircraft carrier, which marked the carrier-based unmanned tanker project much anticipated by the Pentagon. An important milestone was reached.

According to the report, in order to install devices to control the MQ-25 unmanned tanker and other unmanned systems in the future, a new area was deliberately opened on the US aircraft carrier to accommodate the "unmanned aerial combat center." In the future, this type of equipment will become "standard equipment" on US aircraft carriers.

An aircraft carrier is a large surface ship with carrier-based aircraft as its main combat weapon. It can provide take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft. After the Second World War, countries all over the world focused on the development of aircraft carriers suitable for their own countries in order to safeguard their own maritime interests. The "first shots" of the United States in the 1991 Gulf War, the 2001 Afghanistan War, and the 2003 Iraq War were all fired from the aircraft carrier formation. Since its development, the aircraft carrier has become an indispensable weapon of the modern navy, and it is also one of the most important ships in naval warfare. It has become a symbol of a country's comprehensive national strength. Although the "Big Mac" of this mechanized age has gone through the long historical years of the information age, today in the intelligent age, aircraft carriers have also begun to become intelligent.
