SEA.AI machine vision integrated on MARTAC unmanned vessels (opens in a new tab)

SEA.AI’s machine vision technology has been integrated into MARTAC’s unmanned surface vessels (USVs), enabling real-time AI-based detection and classification of surface objects using electro-optical and thermal sensors. The system autonomously identifies vessel types, headings, and proximity without operator input, enhancing USV capabilities for missions like the T38 Devil Ray’s eight-day autonomous operation in Sea State 5 conditions. MARTAC and SEA.AI emphasize the technology’s role in closing gaps for fully autonomous maritime operations. The integration is part of MARTAC’s focus on advanced sensor solutions for its USV range, including the MANTAS and Devil Ray models.

368-ton ex-US Navy vessel shows off advanced autonomy in high-stakes sea trials (opens in a new tab)

A 368-ton former US Navy vessel, modified with HD Hyundai’s VAone autonomy suite and Anduril’s Lattice platform, completed a 3.5-hour autonomous sea trial off Long Beach, California. The exercise tested navigation, formation sailing, mission adaptability, and responses to simulated machinery failures, monitored remotely by US and South Korean defense officials. The vessel demonstrated integrated autonomy in navigation, machinery management, and damage control without onboard crew intervention. The trial aimed to showcase technology for future unmanned naval operations, though no procurement award has been announced.

Court Overturns US Navy’s Decision to Exclude Saildrone From MUSV Competition (opens in a new tab)

A federal court overturned the US Navy’s decision to exclude Saildrone from the Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV) competition, ruling the disqualification improper and ordering a reevaluation under consistent criteria. The Navy had initially deemed Saildrone’s proposal non-compliant but later withdrew two of three findings after the company challenged the decision; the court rejected the remaining one as arbitrary. The ruling blocks the Navy from allocating over $1.5 billion of the $2.1 billion budget until the reevaluation is complete. Saildrone’s CEO called the decision a win for fair competition and reaffirmed the company’s readiness to support the Navy’s unmanned fleet expansion.

SubSea Craft, NSI Demonstrate Autonomous Systems in Maritime Exercise (opens in a new tab)

SubSea Craft and Naval Systems, Inc. (NSI), in partnership with Dragonfish Technical Solutions, demonstrated integrated autonomous maritime systems during a multinational exercise off California in October 2026. Their combined MARS Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) and Arowana Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) successfully conducted over-the-horizon engagements against surface targets within 48 hours of integration. The exercise also showcased an underwater launch capability, pairing the Arowana UUV with SubSea Craft’s CADDIS Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) for diver deployment. The technologies were selected via the U.S. Navy’s BARB solicitation to address emerging undersea warfare challenges.

Naval Systems & SubSea Craft Demo Rapid Unmanned Systems Integration in AUKUS Exercise off California (opens in a new tab)

The AUKUS exercise off California demonstrated rapid integration of unmanned systems, combining SubSea Craft’s MARS USV with NSI/DF’s Arowana UUV within 48 hours. The integrated system successfully conducted over-the-horizon engagements against surface targets, showcasing accuracy and endurance. Additionally, an underwater launch capability was tested, pairing the Arowana UUV with SubSea Craft’s CADDIS UAS, enabling divers to deploy both systems from submerged positions. The exercise highlighted the potential for modular, interoperable autonomous systems to enhance maritime operations and accelerate mission-ready capabilities.

Saildrone Sued the Navy Over MUSV Elimination—And Won (opens in a new tab)

Saildrone sued the U.S. Navy after being eliminated from the $2.1 billion Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV) program and won. The Court of Federal Claims ruled the Navy acted "arbitrarily and capriciously," treating Saildrone unfairly compared to competitor Sea Machines. The Navy must now reevaluate Saildrone’s proposal within two months and is barred from spending over $1.5 billion of the program’s funds until then. The case centered on disparate treatment rather than technical flaws in Saildrone’s bid.
