Made in the USA
An uncrewed surface vessel with the range, payload, and endurance to carry the mission far offshore.
The Variant 7 is a USV designed on decades of combat-vessel craft, then made autonomous.
Where Generations of Maritime Craftsmanship Meet Semi-Autonomous Command. Designed from generations of boatbuilding heritage and shaped by combat-informed expertise, the Variant 7 pairs semi-autonomous command and control with open architecture for the sensors, communications, and payloads the mission requires. It launches uncrewed aircraft and coordinates with other vessels. One picture across sea and air.
Reach
810 nautical miles at 40 knots, and past 1,600 nm in extended configuration. Loitering endurance runs to 12.5 days. Presence far offshore, held for days at a time.
Payload
800 kg baseline across modular bays. ISR, counter-UAS, mine countermeasures, resupply, or the mission system the task calls for.
Integrated air
Launch and recover uncrewed aircraft from the deck. Eyes and reach extend over the horizon.
Coordinated operations
Multi-vehicle coordination and swarm operation, with control authority held by a human in the loop. Many hulls, one picture.
Force protection
A low-profile, high-speed platform that takes on the work an operator would rather keep crews clear of.

The platform in the water today. Long-range presence, modular payload, integrated air.
A smaller hull on the same open architecture, built for the contested near shore.
Extended reach on the same open architecture, built for the far offshore.
Built on lessons learned from combat at sea, the Variant 7 holds a steady track and a stable sensor picture through open-ocean sea states.
