Builds the Typhoon USV, an 11-foot autonomous surface vessel selling for ~1/10 the cost of comparable vessels, with 50+ knot sustained speed (70+ knot tested), 600+ nm range. Full-autonomy stack for ship-to-shore cargo delivery and maritime patrol without crew. In July 2026 a Typhoon performed the first USV underway replenishment landing in the well deck of USS Essex (LHD-2) during RIMPAC 2026, confirming combat-relevant fielding.
