Sea Machines secures US Special Operations Forces autonomy contract

The company noted that marine autonomy systems and unmanned vessels have become an increasing requirement for defence forces operating in regions including the Arabian Gulf, the Indo-Pacific and the Baltic.

Sea Machines said its systems allow operators to detect and track maritime threats while reducing the need to expose personnel or larger naval assets to potential risks.

“This award reflects a clear shift toward operational, ready-now autonomy that can be deployed wherever and whenever it’s needed,” said Erik Hedval, Director of Federal Business Captures at Sea Machines.
