Abstract	The Intelligent Autonomy effort under the Autonomous Operations Future Naval Capability had several major demonstrations over the past few months. There were two in-water demonstrations done by a team of Northrop Grumman and CMU. The first demonstrated autonomous river navigation and surveillance using a 13 ft. electric deck-boat. This demonstrated autonomous maritime object detection and mapping to discover the shoreline, river obstacles, and navigation landmarks, as well as autonomous river navigation with reactive obstacle avoidance, and detecting and tracking movers on the river and navigation landmarks. The second demonstrated autonomous harbor surveillance using a Spartan USV, a 7M Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat. This demonstrated harbor object detection and mapping, tracking harbor objects, and classifying objects in real-time. A high-fidelity UUV simulation demonstration was done by Draper Laboratory and NUWC to demonstrate path replanning integrated with on-board mapping. This used a three stage approach with a D/A algorithm, a B-Spline algorithm to generate a trajectory that the UUV follow, and a Model Predictive Control algorithm to generates steering commands. Finally, a demonstration at the Lockheed Martin Integrated Warfare Development Laboratory demonstrated an integrated system including Multi-Vehicle Task Allocation (very limited), Dynamic Replanning, Replan Assessment, Common Information Management, Alert Management, Operator Interface, and Lower level Autonomous Vehicle Control System. The demonstration included evaluation by 2 Navy and 2 Marine Corps UAV operators
