Amid rising tensions in the South China Sea, the United States has supplied the Philippines with advanced solar-powered unmanned sea drones to strengthen maritime surveillance capabilities. The autonomous systems can reportedly operate for up to 30 days without a crew, helping monitor potential threats, illegal fishing activities, and other gray-zone operations in disputed waters. The delivery comes shortly after a joint U.S.-Philippine Coast Guard exercise conducted over several days in the South China Sea, highlighting growing security cooperation between the two allies in the region.
