C2 Robotics has reportedly secured its first international export sales of its Speartooth large uncrewed underwater vessel.
Speartooth is designed to deliver military payloads at range with a high degree of stealth, reliability and autonomy. The system is also reportedly payload agnostic with the ability to rapidly integrate required systems.
“Our latest customer is an organisation that is keen to get this capability into the hands of their people as soon as possible to see what autonomous systems can bring to undersea operations,” C2 Robotics’ chief technology officer, Dr Tom Loveard, said.
“We’ve always argued that the best way to develop concepts of operations for autonomous systems is to actually use them. We’re very happy to have found a customer who shares that view.
“The reception we are getting from international militaries is extremely positive. Speartooth’s combination of range, stealth, payload and, above all, affordability, offers something different from any other system on the market and customers are responding to that.”
The system can reportedly be transported via standard shipping containers and launched at ordinary civilian boat ramps, potentially reducing workforce and infrastructure requirements.
