US Navy Launches First Purpose-Built Midsize USV

February 19, 2024
The first midsize unmanned surface vehicle (USV) designed for autonomy, the Overlord Large USV, has been launched by the US Navy.

The USV is purpose-built and capable of carrying multiple payloads, including weapons and sensors, and can operate autonomously for long periods of time. The Navy's broader aim to develop unmanned systems that can operate in contested environments is supported by the Overlord Large USV. Additionally, the Sea Hunter, the first autonomous surface ship, has been launched by the US Navy. It is designed to operate without a crew for several months and is part of the Navy's broader push to develop unmanned systems that can operate in contested environments.

MarketsandMarkets’ analysts estimate that the global unmanned surface vehicle market is expected to reach USD 1.2 billion and grow at a CAGR of 10.3% by 2028. Prominent players in the market include General Dynamics Corporation, Textron Inc., BAE Systems, Thales Group, and Lockheed Martin Corporation. The market growth factors include the rising demand for maritime security and the need for ocean data and mapping. Lack of skilled operators and high USV costs are the market restraints.
