Textron Systems Corporation has unveiled its TSUNAMI™ series of autonomous maritime surface vessels, designed to provide the U.S. Department of Defense and allied nations with a cost-effective, versatile fleet of uncrewed, multi-mission assets.
These maritime surface vessels are purpose-built to seamlessly integrate across existing naval operations, leveraging Textron Systems’ extensive 40+ years of expertise in multi-domain autonomy and the advanced manufacturing capabilities of the U.S. commercial shipbuilding sector.
Designed with gasoline-powered engines to optimize logistics, maintenance, and cost-efficiency, the TSUNAMI vessels boast a payload capacity of 1,000 pounds (453.6 kilograms). The lineup currently includes 24-, 25-, and 28-foot hull variants, all in large-scale production today. These vessels operate effectively up to Sea State 4, with ranges spanning 600 to 1,000 nautical miles and beyond, while offering scalability for future configurations and higher production volumes.
The TSUNAMI vessels also feature standard equipment including EO/IR camera, maritime radar, and LOS/BLOS communications, Unmanned Maritime Autonomy Architecture (UMAA) compatibility, and a proven autonomy system based on DoD programs.
David Phillips, Senior Vice President of Air, Land, and Sea Systems at Textron Systems, said, “Textron Systems understands how to design, integrate, field and support autonomous systems across the air, land and sea domains, because we are unique in having done that. Combining this expertise with the capability, demonstrated capacity, and affordability of Brunswick’s commercial shipbuilding know-how allows us to provide our DoD and allied customers with powerful maritime force strength at speed and at scale.”
