Long‑Endurance USVs Delivering Maritime Domain Awareness

Persistence is the real force multiplier at sea.
This session presents long-endurance uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) designed to operate for months—without crew, without ports, and without constant human control. Used for maritime domain awareness, these platforms demonstrate how data‑as‑a‑service can complement traditional naval and governmental assets.

You gain insight into real operational deployments: surveillance in the Baltic and North Sea, harsh-weather operations, and integration with national and NATO command systems. The focus is not on autonomous decision‑making, but on reliability, energy harvesting, sensor integration and continuous data delivery.

For engineers, this is a practical case study in scaling autonomy responsibly: modular payloads, edge computing, communication under constraints and compliance with maritime regulations. A clear example of how uncrewed systems move from innovation to operational capability.
