It is possible to insure autonomous systems at a reasonable rate. The regulatory frameworks pertaining to their use vary from country to country, but the international law for armed marine autonomous systems is out of date and would benefit from revision and update. This paper is a light-touch review of typical uses and capabilities of systems, does not contain classified or commercial in confidence material, based on the author’s 25+ years of familiarity with marine autonomous systems as they have evolved from laboratory prototypes into routinely used platforms for science, survey and surveillance. 000011099 542__ $$aCC-BY-4.0 000011099 7001_ $$aHall, S$$uSociety of Underwater Technology 000011099 773__ $$tConference Proceedings of ICMET 000011099 773__ $$jICMET 2019 000011099 8564_ $$9fd5ba9d0-8387-4236-b377-778c3bfaca17$$s1412148$$uhttps://library.imarest.org/record/11099/files/Paper%207%20-%20New%20Eyes%20in%20the%20Deep.pdf
