Maritime systems

Offshore autonomy with a hand always on the helm.

An offshore catamaran concept with radar, supervised autonomy, a single-operator emergency helm and deck space for UAV launch and recovery.

Aerinos concept optionally crewed offshore catamaran surface vessel with a remote weapon station and bow-mounted modular launch tubes

The concept

The maritime concept brings the Aerinos mission fabric to the water: an offshore catamaran platform designed for persistent surface operations, with radar and sensing, supervised autonomy and a single-operator emergency helm.

Deck launch-and-recovery space is being explored so an Aerinos aircraft can operate directly from the vessel — one connected family across air and sea.

Mission roles

Coastal and offshore ISR

Persistent surface sensing and wide-area awareness across coastal and offshore areas.

Search and rescue

Rapid response, thermal search and communications relay in maritime conditions.

Air-sea teaming

Deck-based UAV launch and recovery so aerial and surface systems share a single mission picture.

Autonomy and command

One mission fabric, adapted to the domain.

The vessel runs the same mission fabric as the rest of the family, with a maritime emphasis: supervised autonomy for persistent operation and a single-operator emergency helm so a person can always take direct control of the boat.

Radar, EO/IR sensing and communications integrate through the common payload boundaries, and a deck pad is being explored to launch and recover an Aerinos aircraft.

Concept and development stage

Concept imagery is illustrative. Specifications and measured performance will be published by configuration as engineering and test mature.

The rest of the family

Each domain runs on the same autonomy, command and payload architecture.
