Britain's Royal Navy conducted the maiden flight of Proteus, its first full-sized autonomous helicopter, designed for anti-submarine warfare and high-risk operations in the North Atlantic. Developed by Leonardo, Proteus is part of a £60 million program aimed at enhancing military capabilities in response to increasing defense spending following Russia's conflict in Ukraine.

The helicopter utilizes advanced sensors and software for autonomous decision-making. It will support the US and NATO allies against evolving threats in the region.
