Splash9 Autonomous Surface Vessels

What is Splash9 Autonomous Surface Vessels?

Splash9 develops cutting-edge autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) that provide advanced maritime security and operational capabilities. These unmanned patrol boats are engineered to secure national borders, protect critical infrastructure such as oil rigs and ports, and support naval operations with full autonomy. Equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and AI-driven algorithms, Splash9 vessels can operate independently in communication-denied environments, perform multi-mission tasks, and deploy various payloads for specialized missions. Their modular design and robust endurance enable applications ranging from coastal patrols to commercial inspection and payload delivery.

Key Features

• Full Autonomy

  Advanced AI and sensor fusion enable vessels to execute complex missions without human input, even in communication-denied areas.

• High Performance

  Top speeds up to 50 knots and operational range of 800 miles allow rapid response and extended maritime presence.

• Modular Payload Capacity

  Customizable payload bays support diverse equipment such as side-scan sonars, UAVs, and other mission-specific sensors.

• Scalable Fleet Management

  Integrated tech stack allows a single operator to deploy and command fleets of autonomous vessels efficiently.

• Multi-Mission Capability

  Designed for coastal patrol, infrastructure security, naval operations, and commercial tasks like bathymetric surveys and cargo delivery.

Use Cases

• National Security and Border Patrol : Autonomous vessels patrol maritime borders to detect and intercept threats such as narcotics smuggling and unauthorized vessels.
• Critical Infrastructure Protection : Secure oil rigs, ports, and military bases by autonomously enforcing restricted zones and responding to suspicious activity.
• Naval Support Operations : Assist naval missions with autonomous decision-making and payload deployment in complex and communication-denied environments.
• Commercial Maritime Applications : Automate tasks like seabed mapping, offshore cargo delivery, and wind turbine inspections with adaptable vessel configurations.
