Autonomy for the Maritime Battlespace

Open-architecture autonomy, integrated mission systems, and scalable vessel technology built so defense and security teams can field smarter platforms without being locked into a closed ecosystem.

Open Autonomy for Unmanned Vessels

RS1.1 gives Gulf Coast Tactical platforms the intelligence, control, and flexibility for real maritime operations where vessels must navigate traffic, push through degraded comms, hold mission objectives, and adapt on the water. It runs the full spectrum: direct operator control, semi-autonomous behaviors, and fully autonomous mission execution.

Built for multi-vessel operations.  Dynamic group control enables formation keeping, distributed area surveillance, coordinated tasking, inter-vessel communication, and network-aware mission re-tasking.

Capabilities

manual > fully autonomous modes
collision avoidance
dynamic waypoint execution
obstacle avoidance and route planning
loitering, geo-fencing, station keeping, convoy-follow
multi-vessel coordination
AI-ready interfaces for visual intelligence and ATR
secure web-based command
communications-aware autonomy for degraded environments

Vessel, Autonomy, Sensors, Comms, and Payloads — As One System

Innovation doesn’t stop at the hull. We integrate the systems that make a vessel mission-ready, using a consistent ecosystem across the fleet.

That turns a collection of components into a complete operational platform for ISR, patrol, counter-UAS support, long-endurance unmanned operations, or payload-specific prototyping.

Integration includes

For larger unmanned platforms, integration extends to payload bays, reinforced mounts, dynamic trim control, and heavy-duty aluminum construction. The Nemesis carries a large payload hatch and 1,500 lb capacity; the Sea-Lynx adds a reinforced payload pad and supports larger heavier payloads.

Counter-UAS Effector


Drone mitigation & neutralization | Portable Unmanned Defence | Rugged and Deployable

EO/IR Camera


Long-Range Detection | Stabilized PTZ | Day/Night & All-Weather

Command from Shore, Ship, or Tactical Node

A secure, browser-based command interface lets operators plan, monitor, and control missions in real time. The system is built for dynamic operations not just static route following: define objectives, set routes, monitor status, adjust tasking, and rely on autonomous fallback when comms degrade.

Capabilities

web-based mission planning
dynamic waypoint execution
autonomous route planning
obstacle avoidance
station keeping and loitering
geo-fencing and mission boundaries
convoy-follow
remote monitoring and control
OTA mission updates
communications-aware fallback

Our Innovation Process

How we stay at the bleeding edge of the tactical maritime environment.

1

Battlefield Feedback

Direct input from current conflict zones and operational environments

2

Innovative Design

Rapid prototyping and design improvements based on real-world needs

3

Efficient Production

Streamlined manufacturing in our New Iberia, LA facility

4

FIeld Deployment

Rapid delivery to operational theaters worldwide

Practical Innovation, Built to Field

The future battlespace demands more autonomy, faster deployment, better interoperability, lower operator exposure, distributed sensing, and fleet-scale operations. Our roadmap targets fieldable technology not technology for its own sake.

Planning next-generation autonomy or distributed unmanned operations?

AI-enabled growth

Visual learning models
Adaptive object recognition
Scene classification
Automatic Target Recognition
Real-time detection, tracking and threat classification from EO/IR and other sensor feeds

Interoperability

RS1.1 is built on a modular backbone and supports common naval protocols for future naval and coalition integration.
