Our Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) are engineered as force-multipliers for naval, governmental, and security agencies in environments where manned assets face unacceptable risks.
Key Tactical and Security Use Cases
-
Our platforms support networked multi-vessel operations for coordinated surveillance, area monitoring, and mission support in complex maritime environments.• Autonomous Swarm Coordination: Deploying and managing coordinated USV groups for simultaneous multi-point surveillance, perimeter monitoring, and distributed maritime awareness• AI-Powered Threat Classification: Utilizing on-board AI processing to rapidly identify, classify, and track targets, prioritizing threats, and minimizing false positives without reliance on continuous human intervention.• Decentralized Decision-Making: Enabling USVs to execute complex maneuvers, maintain formation, and dynamically reassign roles (e.g., from reconnaissance to jamming) even in the event of communication degradation or platform loss.
-
Our USVs serve as essential, low-signature assets for intelligence gathering and perimeter defense.• Covert Maritime Surveillance: Low-profile positioning of EO/IR cameras and specialized sensors for persistent maritime monitoring• High-Resolution Bathymetric Charting: Conducting tactical, high-performance bathymetric scanning to chart shallow water approaches, riverine environments, ports, harbors, and shallow-water approaches for safe naval movement and underwater obstacle detection.• Air-Sea Integrated ISR: Functioning as a covert deployment and recovery platform for small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), allowing aerial surveillance missions to launch and loiter near targets while reducing the need to position larger vessels close to the area of interest.
-
Contego USVs provide a safe standoff capability for managing subsurface threats and deploying acoustic equipment.• Real-Time Mine Detection: Towing Side-Scan and Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) arrays for rapid, high-coverage seabed mapping and mine warfare detection.• Subsurface Payload Delivery: Precision deployment and activation of specialized acoustic, sensor, or data-logging payloads at designated depths and coordinates (e.g., sonobuoys or listening devices).
-
For missions requiring secure data links and spectrum dominance, our platforms establish critical network infrastructure.•Acoustic-to-RF Gateway: Operating as a floating Acoustic-to-RF communication relay station to bridge data between subsurface, air, and ground forces, ensuring connectivity in communications-denied environments.
-
Our high-speed, agile platforms are ideal for law enforcement and border patrol missions requiring rapid response.• Target Detection and Pursuit: Utilizing multi-spectral sensors to detect and track non-compliant vessels (e.g., in anti-smuggling or counter-narcotics missions), automatically initiating high-speed pursuit while documenting evidence.
-
Our "Universal Hull" architecture allows a single vessel to adapt in minutes: from carrying towing winches and sonar systems to supporting mission-specific payload integration for authorized defense and security users.
