Bayonet Sweep is an agile hull crawling robot designed to support naval force protection through rapid underwater inspection.
The vehicle can operate in free-flight mode or attach directly to a vessel using non-magnetic vortex adhesion, enabling submerged visual inspection and close-contact examination without putting divers in the water. Forward and aft HD cameras, high-resolution multibeam sonar, obstacle detection and avoidance, hull mapping, and high-precision inertial navigation support autonomous inspection and navigation, including low-visibility conditions.
Built on defense-proven robotic technology, Sweep combines hull inspection, anomaly detection, classification, operator notification, and georeferenced reporting within a single workflow. Greensea Core and Bayonet Workspace provide topside personnel with real-time camera feeds, threat detection information, and visibility of vehicle operation. The portable platform can be deployed as multiple independent robots to inspect separate hull areas simultaneously, while its modular chassis supports custom payload configurations for specialized defense inspection requirements.
