Navy tests secret Project Overmatch tech with Carl Vinson strike group

The U.S. Navy is testing technology developed as part of its secretive Project Overmatch using the Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group in the waters off California, according to the chief of naval operations.

Adm. Mike Gilday told the Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space conference, going on this week in National Harbor, Maryland, that the project “is in full swing right now” with the strike group, which typically has an aircraft carrier, at least one cruiser and a couple of destroyers, a carrier air wing and thousands of personnel.
