Unmanned Sea Vehicle (USV)

Unmanned sea vehicle (USV)

Globaz’s Unmanned Sea Vehicle is available through two procurement pathways: the Autonomy Kit retrofits almost any existing manned surface vessel into a fully autonomous or optionally manned USV, while the Integrated USV Platform is a complete, turnkey autonomous vessel with hull, autonomy stack, sensors and payloads pre-integrated and mission-configured. Both share the same proven autonomy stack, control architecture and AI navigation framework — identical operational capability regardless of procurement route.

Key Differentiators

  • Platform agnostic — almost any manned vessel can be converted
  • Preserves manned capability — autonomous without removing crew option
  • Rapidly deliverable — greatly outpaces new vessel commissioning timelines
  • Modular and scalable — upgrade capabilities and payloads as requirements evolve
  • Keeps personnel out of harm's way in dull, dirty, and dangerous maritime environments
  • Broad 3rd-party system and payload interoperability
  • Autonomy Kit:Convert Any Vessel
  • Integrated USV:Deployment Ready
  • Zeus Pro GCS:One Operator, Multiple USVs
