Modularity

Modular Beam System

The Maven 210 is built on a fully modular Beam system that enables efrapid mission reconfiguration. Payloads, electronics, and add-ons can be mounted, replaced, or repositioned anywhere along the rails, maintaining balance and watertight integrity. Front and rear mounting areas provide dedicated points for cameras, sensors, or navigation lights, allowing both forward-view and under-deck installations for complete situational awareness.

Composite Hull & Chassis

100% Carbon-fiber materials.

The Maven 210’s structure is engineered for strength, durability, and efficiency. Dual carbon-fiber hulls joined by precision aluminum beams provide exceptional rigidity while minimizing weight. All flat panels are constructed from reinforced honeycomb-core composites, ensuring an optimal strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.

Detachable Beam System

The Maven 210 features a modular three-piece design consisting of two pontoons and a central bridge housing the electronics. This configuration allows for easy assembly and disassembly, enabling the entire system to be transported in a standard passenger car for straightforward deployment wherever you need it.

MAVEN 210 - MODULAR BRIDGES

Custom-engineered deck superstructures.

Our USVs feature modular and custom-engineered deck superstructures, configurable in shape and height and can be installed anywhere on the deck to integrate diverse mission payloads—from advanced communications (4G/5G, SATCOM) to sophisticated sensor suites (lidar, radar, gimbals)

Contego - Maven 210  customized bridges - USV for marine robotics

Two-floor Bridge - Multi-Sensor & Computing Expansion

The Two-floor Bridge consists of two stacked 20 cm modules, forming a completely modular multi-level platform. Each deck is independently configurable, allowing any combination of computers, power systems, antennas, sensors, or controllers to be mounted on either level without predefined placement.

The structure supports maximum modularity: each deck can function individually as a standalone bridge or combine with the other to create a unified two-level system with shared power, data.
With its open configuration, the Two Deck Bridge provides unmatched adaptability for rapid reconfiguration, equipment swapping, and scalable system growth.

SATCOM Bridge (High / Low) – Dedicated Satellite Communication Platform

Purpose-built for satellite communication terminals, the SATCOM bridge ensures stable, vibration-resistant operation even in high-motion environments. The structure integrates reinforced anchor points, specialized cable paths, and interfaces between the antenna mount and the base frame.

  • The High configuration provides elevated line-of-sight clearance for large-aperture dishes and broadband SATCOM units.
  • The Low configuration reduces wind profile and center of gravity, ideal for compact satellite terminals or regional links.

The SATCOM bridge transforms the vessel into a mobile connectivity hub, supporting real-time telemetry, encrypted uplinks, or command-and-control applications.

Custom & Tailor-Made Bridges - Fully Adaptable to Mission Needs

Every rail platform supports custom bridge development, allowing clients to specify form factor, height, and functionality beyond the standard lineup. Custom options include:

  • Custom -height frames for large satellite terminals or radar domes.
  • Specialized interfaces for security, scientific, or industrial equipment.

It is possible to modify any existing design or create a fully new bridge to host proprietary sensors, communication suites, or computing clusters.
