The United States Marine Corps has issued a 3.7 million dollar task order to Greensea Systems, Inc., operating as Greensea IQ, for the procurement of four additional Bayonet 250 Autonomous Underwater Ground Vehicles.
This latest delivery order falls under an existing multi-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract, marking a continuous investment by the Marine Corps in scalable assets for mine countermeasures and subsea threat mitigation. The newly acquired unmanned vehicles will directly support the Littoral Explosive Ordnance Neutralization Family of Systems within the littoral battlespace. While the U.S. Marine Corps represents the earliest adopter of these autonomous ground vehicles for mine warfare, Greensea IQ has also reported active engagement with multiple other defense agencies and international allies.
Engineered specifically for high-risk unmanned subsea reacquisition and threat neutralization missions, the Bayonet 250 serves as the primary workhorse of the company’s autonomous vehicle lineup. These commercially-ready platforms feature a unique amphibious capability that allows them to navigate seamlessly from deep ocean terrains, through the challenging surf zone, and directly onto land. This gives operators operational reach across seabed, littoral, and coastal environments that remain inaccessible to traditional robotic systems.
The technical foundation of the vehicles relies on Greensea IQ Core open-architecture autonomy software paired with the specialized Bayonet Workspace. This software configuration belongs to a comprehensive technology stack that includes remote navigation packages, mission execution software, and training simulators designed to enhance safety and efficiency for naval warfighters. For two decades, Greensea IQ has specialized in developing autonomous maritime technologies, providing proven navigation and software systems that support both commercial and defense operators globally.
