Boeing and California-based Liquid Robotics are partnering to develop ocean drones that would provide antisubmarine warfare, maritime domain awareness and other maritime defense applications, according to the St. Louis Business Journal.

Liquid Robotics is one of several companies working on unmanned ocean vehicles, the St. Louis Business Journal reports.
