Meet the robot that finds mines so divers don't have to | NewsNation Reports

In this episode of "Newsnation Reports," Nancy Loo is in San Francisco at a startup that's making the case that the future of naval defense fits in a tube. Ulysses Maritime Technologies makes autonomous underwater drones, originally designed to restore seagrass, but now could be used by the U.S. military in assessing and getting rid of underwater mines. NewsNation gets a firsthand look at the Mako drone, as Ulysses co-founders Akhil Voorakkara and Will O’Brien explain its modular design, deep-water sensing capabilities, price tag and more as tensions maintain in the Middle East.
