ACUA Ocean is revolutionising marine operations, delivering Robust, Reliable, Reconfigurable capability with Pioneer class USVs. With better seakeeping than a traditional 40m vessel, modular payload capability utilising standard 20ft ISO container footprint and weight capacity of 6,500kg it supports a wide range of capabilities across ISR, ASW and ASuW. USV Pioneer was the first USV to receive UK MCA Workboat code 3 certification. The SWATH hull form means that the vessel is highly stable enabling it to launch and recover payloads in sea state 6 whilst minimising the motion of the vessel. Pioneer Class USVs are able to operate for over 50days at sea gathering data from. towed and surface mounted sensors or deploying a wide range of other robotic systems such as ROVs, ROTVs, UAVs and AUVs
