Zeabuz Launches Dual-Use Autonomy Platform
Zeabuz announced the launch of its defense and security autonomy platform, unveiled together with Damen Shipyards Group during the Damen Maritime Festival.
As part of this launch, Zeabuz has integrated its autonomy system on the ZeaFalcon, a 7-meter Damen HDPE Uncrewed Surface Vessel optimized for defense and security applications. The system comprises a full suite of operational capabilities including autonomous navigation, collision avoidance, remote command and control, autodocking, and connectivity-denied operations.
These autonomy features directly address critical challenges in the defense and security domain. By reducing the need for human presence in high-risk environments, the system can protect lives during demanding naval missions such as intelligence, surveillance & reconnaissance (ISR), search and rescue (SAR), and mine countermeasures (MCM). At the same time, it enables a single operator to manage multiple vessels simultaneously, allowing naval customers to expand their operational reach without increasing manpower.
The Zeabuz dual-use autonomy platform is suitable for any size of vessel and operation, from unmanned missions with small USVs to assisting crew on large ships.
