There are too many varibables Harbor defense Units face when attempting to counter skilled intruders. Many factors within a given harbor would simply "throw this unit off" thus rendering it counterproductive. My opinion! Been there done that IMHO It’s better to spend the precious funds on surface and subsurface barriers.

There should be no staged and chorographed excerise to favor the unit. Simply stated, unrestricted mission plans by "swimmers" of proven mettle. IMHO, all too often questionable technology gets pushed thru at TAX PAYERS EXPENSES.speaking in blunt terms, substandard inventors=substandards products!!.THAT'S MY OPINION!

As for an Underwater drone, to conduct it's intended mission is rather unrealistic. For one, Salt water wreaks havoc on electrical units much less submerged robots (Spells maintenance nightmares and wasted man hours and $$$$$). 2ndly- unmanned submeged drones tend to mire up in natural "in water debree and obstacles". Countless examples!! 3rdly- Unmanned drones are unable to transit is tight areas to include creeks, rivers, swamps. ETC ETC ETC. Good intent but IMHO, WASTE OF PRECIOUS FUNDS! Skilled combat swimmers would laugh! there is no subsitude for the human element to verify, engage and confirm.

Much less in areas of limited space. Suppose it might sport as a potentail tool. But far from the SOLUTION to counter well skilled subsurface intruders. Sound mission plans in union with "REAL toadmen" can easliy counter all anti swimmer measures. :0 (No matter the technical Advances) The water Has a unique way of affording total deniability :) Hmm,

Can imagine how they'd also be useful for anti-piracy work in the Indian Ocean.
