Philippine Navy Foreign Military Transfer — 4 Triton AUSVs
Four Ocean Aero Triton AUSVs transferred to the Philippine Navy's Unmanned Surface Vessel Unit One, valued at approximately $13 million, via a US-funded security-assistance initiative.
On June 23, 2026, four Ocean Aero Triton autonomous underwater/surface vehicles were transferred to the Philippine Navy's Unmanned Surface Vessel Unit One at Naval Operating Base Subic Bay, valued at approximately $13 million. Per USNI News, this is part of a broader U.S. drone-focused asymmetric-capabilities security-assistance initiative funded via Foreign Military Financing (FMF), under which at least nine USVs have been transferred to the Philippine Navy since 2024, framed within the Philippines-U.S. Security Sector Assistance Roadmap. No source explicitly states this specific transfer was FMF-funded in those words — this is a well-supported inference, not a verbatim-quoted fact.
