We deliver proven performance, next generation innovation and mission-critical reliability.


From the need to provide persistent intelligence to increasingly contested environments, navies across the globe are facing more threats than ever before whilst constrained by demand on scarce resource.

To ensure our customers stay ahead in an evolving maritime world, we are constantly embracing new technologies. We have launched a number of products that will enhance operational advantage and reduce risk, designed to deliver human-machine integration, interoperability and trusted autonomous capabilities.

Vantage

Developed as an autonomy-ready platform to enable increased presence and awareness, our optionally crewed surface vessel class, Vantage, is available in 25 and 55 metre variants. 

The class has been designed based on real missions with real demands to ensure alignment to operational requirements and enhance capability at speed, scale and budget. Able to be operated by optional crews, remotely (from ship or shore) or through their fully autonomous systems, both variants are equipped with inertial navigation systems for GPS denied environments and offer flexible payloads through standard containerised interfaces. They are designed to easily integrate into naval command, systems and sustainment from day one.

AROS Platform Controller and Console

Our platform controller delivers the interface of the navigational and engineering systems for both the 25 and 55 metre variants of Vantage, whilst the console supports crewed-uncrewed teaming with remote operation tasking of the uncrewed surface vessel.
