SURVEYOR
A 20-meter commercially developed unmanned surface vehicle built for long-duration global operations. Surveyor provides persistent maritime intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), deep-ocean mapping, and the power, payload capacity, and endurance to support distributed maritime missions.
Designed for months at sea, Surveyor integrates radar, EO/IR, ML-based detection, AIS, and high-power hydrographic and oceanographic payloads, with a modular architecture that can accommodate customer- and partner-furnished mission systems in the world’s harshest environments.
