Textron Unmanned Systems
The TSUNAMI USV (Uncrewed Surface Vessel) is a family of scalable, low-cost, fully autonomous maritime surface platforms developed jointly by Textron Systems and Brunswick Corporation. Key Features: Mass Production and Commercial Hulls: Built using commercial, high-performance hulls from Brunswick (ranging from 21 ft to 42 ft in length) to allow rapid and affordable manufacturing at scale. Defense-Grade Autonomy: Integrates Textron Systems' mature autonomy control software (derived from its Common Unmanned Surface Vehicle / CUSV programs).
Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA): Fully compatible with the U.S. Navy's Unmanned Maritime Autonomy Architecture (UMAA) standards, enabling seamless payload integration and interoperability. Performance: Powered primarily by reliable gasoline outboard engines, models achieve top speeds exceeding 40 kts to 50 kts with operational ranges between 600 and over 1,000 nautical miles.Mission Capabilities: Designed for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting (ISR-T), counter-narcotics enforcement, search-and-rescue, force protection, and logistics. The platform has been contracted by the U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and deployed for naval exercises with organizations like the U.S. Navy Fourth Fleet and U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM).
