,1,With the rise in tension between major powers and the persistence of regional conflicts, readiness is more important than ever. The use of AI-powered drones in ship inspection is paving the way for a revolutionary approach to combating corrosion and optimizing maintenance operations in naval fleets. These autonomous drones, equipped with advanced AI technology, provide real-time visual data that simplifies the detection and assessment of corrosion, enabling commanders and naval engineering teams to determine the optimal timing and level of maintenance required. By replacing traditional inspection methods such as manual observation with precise visual data, these drones eliminate delays and misinterpretations — reducing maintenance backlogs and getting ships back to sea faster. In a peer/adversary environment, they provide rapid expeditionary battle damage assessments that are crucial to commanders’ decision-making.
Additionally, the use of AI facilitates obstacle avoidance and streamlines flight operations, making it easier for personnel to be trained and execute complex missions with ease. The integration of AI-powered drones in naval maintenance promises to revolutionize the landscape of ship inspection and transform the way naval fleets conduct predictive maintenance.
Join our panel of experts as they discuss the potential impact of AI-powered drones in naval maintenance and how it will transform ship inspection and maintenance operations.
,1,Pope Francis calls for a universal ban on surrogate motherhood, labeling it "despicable" and highlighting the "commercialization" of pregnancy in his annual speech on global threats to peace and human dignity.
In his address to ambassadors, the Pope expressed concern over various global issues, including conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, migration, climate crises, and the production of nuclear weapons. He specifically condemned surrogate motherhood as a serious violation of the dignity of women and children, calling for a global ban on the practice.
This stance aligns with the Catholic Church's opposition to surrogacy, which is already prohibited in some European countries such as Spain and Italy.
