The problem

Work on the water is expensive, crew-intensive and often repetitive: survey, inspection, monitoring and logistics tasks that require people on board for hours at a time in conditions that are rarely comfortable.

What we're building

Dutch USV Technologies develops autonomous surface vessel technology — perception, navigation, control and remote operation — designed for repeatable maritime tasks across civil and industrial maritime domains.

Why now

Sensor cost curves, edge compute and maturing autonomy stacks have made small autonomous vessels practical, while European maritime industries are actively looking for safer, lower-crew ways to operate.

Where we are

Research and development stage: prototyping and technology validation.
