About the company
ACUA Ocean is revolutionising marine operations, delivering Robust, Reliable, Reconfigurable capability with Pioneer class USVs.
With better seakeeping than a traditional 40m vessel, modular payload capability utilising standard 20ft ISO container footprint and weight capacity of 6,500kg it supports a wide range of capabilities across ISR, ASW and ASuW.
ACUA Ocean are currently trialling USV Pioneer, first vessel in Pioneer class, a unique vessel capable of operating in high sea states for extended periods of time.
The SWATH hull form means that the vessel is highly stable enabling it to launch and recover payloads in sea state 6 whilst minimising the motion of the vessel. Pioneer Class USVs are able to operate for over 50days at sea gathering data from. towed and surface mounted sensors or deploying a wide range of other robotic systems such as ROVs, ROTVs, UAVs and AUVs.
USV Pioneer can be seen at quayside during DSEI.
