PODCAST: Australia’s first 3D printed autonomous USV, with Josh Wigley and Harry Hubbert

How can the new guard of Australian defence technology companies accelerate development of autonomous maritime capability through rapid manufacturing and AI-enabled uncrewed systems?

In this special Indian Ocean Defence & Security Conference & Exhibition episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, senior journalist Robert Dougherty is joined by Hyperion Systems CEO Josh Wigley and Greenroom Robotics co-founder and chief operations officer Harry Hubbert.

Hyperion and Greenroom Robotics have partnered to develop the southern hemisphere’s first 3D printed uncrewed surface vessel. The craft combines rapid additive manufacturing with Australian autonomy software to deliver a scalable and adaptable maritime platform.

Wigley and Hubbert discuss the rapid development of the 4.6-metre USV, including Hyperion’s use of recycled Australian plastics and large-scale 3D printing technology alongside Greenroom Robotics’ autonomous navigation and mission software.
