AAC builds Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) for the U.S. Navy and major contractors. Our Sentinel family of USVs includes 15 foot Mercury waterjet, 19 and 22 foot Mercury outboard and 38 foot inboard configurations. We have just completed a retrofit of a U.S. Navy 11 meter RHIB built by USMI in 1998. The current projects involve command and control, sensors, UAV deployment, and many other tasks. Our first USV was the Sentinel USV, developed with Brunswick Corporation using the 15 foot Rage hull and a Mercury Waterjet. It is used for launch and recovery of UAVs for ONR and NAVSEA. The later USVs were built from different hulls including a 22 foot Port Security Unit hull with 225 hp Mercury Outboard and two 11 meter USMI RHIBs with twin Caterpillar waterjet engines. The 6th USV is scheduled for testing in the fall of 2007; it uses a Brunswick/FB Design ocean racer with twin engines. Our work will include using detailed maps of the river systems to program the USV for navigation.
