We build autonomous marine systems focused on performance, reliability, and adaptability
Contego, an Israel-based company established in 2021, is at the forefront of maritime innovation. We specialize in the end-to-end design and manufacture of high-performance Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) platforms. Through several years of continuous improvement driven by direct customer feedback, our USVs have been proven to be Designed for reliable operation in demanding marine environments, engineered to succeed in the most demanding , environmental and commercial operations.
Our Manufacturing Philosophy
We are not just assemblers; we are creators. We control the entire production lifecycle and design and manufacture our own proprietary molds for advanced catamaran and mono-hull designs. All our hulls are constructed from premium carbon fiber materials, ensuring maximum durability, lightweight efficiency, and superior hydrodynamic performance.
The Difference: Our Core Innovations
Proprietary HYDRA Propulsion System
We don’t rely on off-the-shelf components for our most critical systems. Our proprietary "HYDRA" hydro-jet electric thrusters are the heart of our platforms. Developed in-house over several years, HYDRA is A high-performance propulsion system developed for efficiency and durability for small USVs. This innovation enables reliable operation in shallow waters and extreme conditions—where conventional systems often fail—while ensuring superior maneuverability, a low acoustic signature, and minimal maintenance.
Unmatched Mission Modularity
The USV market is filled with single-purpose platforms, binding operators to a specific set of equipment. Any minor change in mission often requires purchasing an entirely new vehicle. Contego breaks this limitation. Our USVs are engineered from the ground up for true modularity. Mission-specific equipment is integrated via simple, replaceable Add-Ons, allowing you to adapt your platform—fast—to new and evolving operational needs.
Radical Field Serviceability
In critical operations, downtime is not an option. We have designed our USVs for maximum uptime and ease of maintenance. Every component is engineered for simple, rapid replacement in the field. We empower our customers by shipping parts directly with clear, easy-to-follow instructions, eliminating the need for lengthy depot-level repairs and keeping your assets operational.
