Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles

MSubs’ Uncrewed Vehicles are designed to be affordable and easy to operate and maintain. Our UUV hull designs are based on our crewed submersibles, enabling most systems and components to be within the pressure hull. This enables MSubs UUV’s to be maintained and replenished without recovery, reducing turnaround time. Additionally, by utilising Submergence Group’s SUBNAVSYS integrated bridge system, MSubs’ larger UUVs can be operated either crewed or uncrewed.

MSubs is also the distributer of Martac Mantas hybrid and surface ASV’s. The range spans from the lightweight and readily portable to extreme-performance, large-payload, ocean-going vessels.

The Mobile Under Sea Test Laboratory (MUST) Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) was developed and built by modifying and updating a decommissioned, large diameter UUV previously built and operated by Lockheed Martin. A four month modernisation program was conducted in May 2012 during which a completely new/upgraded electrical equipment suite was installed and a sail was added to the UUV giving it a conventional submarine profile.Length:

S201 is an 8.9 tonne vehicle intended for 48hr operation at depths up to 305m. This project is an example of our rapid prototyping capabilities. From outline specification to launch took just 14 months. Dived performance is maximised by attention to streamlining of the outer hull and by the use of advanced motor technology to directly drive the main propeller.Length:

XV Excalibur is the Royal Navy’s first Extra-Large Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle (XLUUV), developed by MSubs under Project CETUS. The battery-powered submarine is a testbed for autonomous operations, advanced sensors and modular payloads, supporting development in anti-submarine warfare, ISR, seabed operations and integration with crewed vessels.Length:
