Yes, I coached a team of military personnel, public servants and defence 
industry people in the RAN's Navy Warfare Innovation Workshop 2020 at 
the Australian Defence Force Academiy. Most of the teams were working on 
ways to use drones, but mine surprised everyone by instead coming up 
with a way to counter swarms of drones. The Admiral who breezed in 
seemed happy with the idea.

Something else Navy could do is produce the underwater equivalent of the 
RAAF's Loyal Wingman. That is a pilot-less armed jet aircraft to be 
built in Queensland. Designed to be relatively cheap, it would work 
alongside crewed aircraft. Navy could have a robot submarine, big enough 
to cross a sea, but small enough to mass produce.
