TECHNOLOGY
Full open ocean operations
ACUA’s modular unmanned surface vessel provides a scalable and persistent presence for distributed maritime operations, ocean data collection and monitoring of critical national infrastructure.




USV PIONEER
ACUA’s stable 14m Pioneer-class USV provides the space, weight and power to deploy modular sensor and system payloads of up to 6 tonnes from a 20ft ISO container in the moonpool.
Our stable ocean-going unmanned surface vessel delivers full ocean going operations and enables safe and reliable deployment of large payloads (circa 1 tonne) in sea state 5-6. This enables increased operational availability compared to competitors.
MAELSTROM CONCEPT
Our 24m Maelstrom concept vessel design provides a stable long endurance platform for larger payloads and increased range and endurance.
