Dominance Beyond the Shoreline
Built for sea state 4 and above, Blue Ops’ Blue Water USVs operate in rough, open-ocean conditions where traditional vessels fall short. These uncrewed systems extend range, reduce risk, and provide continuous presence for reconnaissance, strike, and electronic warfare missions far offshore.
In Development
Proven Combat. Integrated Battle System.
The Blue Ops USV series, led by the Variant 7 and soon to include the Variant 5, Variant 6, and Variant 11, represents the next generation of battle-proven uncrewed surface vessels. With confirmed success in modern conflicts against both ships and aircraft, these platforms deliver exceptional lethality and reliability. Designed to integrate seamlessly with UAVs, they form a complete multi-domain battle system with swarm capabilities that support ISR, anti-air, kinetic strike, and more.
Secure. Precise. Reliable.
The Blue Ops integrated tech stack combines secure command and control, advanced sensors, and precision visual navigation to execute missions with accuracy across every domain. EW hardened and validated against current-generation counter-UAS systems, it remains resilient in the most contested environments. Battle-tested and built for interoperability, the system adapts seamlessly to evolving needs.
The Next Era of Warfare
The Blue Ops Futures Initiative unites UAVs and UASs into one integrated battle system, delivering true all-domain solutions. By bringing UAVs and USVs together, we are shaping the future of maritime and multi-domain operations, where interoperability, swarm tactics, and unified command define mission success. This is more than a platform; it is the foundation of a complete battle system built for the next fight.
“USVs give our forces a powerful strategic edge, operating with precision, persistence, and impact where traditional assets are limited. This capability transforms how the USA and allied forces approach modern naval missions.”
