As the acceleration of adversary long-range precision fires fundamentally alters naval warfare, the requirement for robust, deployable air defense capabilities across the surface fleet has never been more critical. The United States Navy and allied maritime forces require agile, modular solutions capable of protecting high-value assets and projecting power through unmanned surface vessels (USVs).

Our Maritime Air Defense solutions leverage the combat-proven Battery Revolving Adaptive Weapons Launcher – Reconfigurable (BRAWLR) system, which has been specifically marinized to defeat Group 2+ unmanned aerial systems (UAS), rotary-wing and fixed-wing platforms.  Our solution stands out for its blend of high technology readiness, open architecture and a proven history of combat performance.

Mission Applications

Flexible Mission Profiles: Supports a wide variety of operations to meet the evolving demands of naval surface warfare.

Advanced Air Defense Payload Integration: Deploys on autonomous platforms, such as Textron’s Common Unmanned Surface Vehicle (CUSV), enabling fleet commanders to extend kinetic defensive capabilities in contested maritime environments.

Operational Shield: Provides layered protection for littoral missions and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations, with independent detection, tracking and defeat of airborne threats.

Versatile Deployment: Suitable for both localized chokepoint defense and broad area coverage for manned fleets.

Rapid Over-the-Horizon Response: Efficiently translates advanced track data into swift, unmanned effects beyond the visible horizon.

Advantages

Combat-Proven Reliability

Uses a TRL9 launcher baseline, which has consistently demonstrated outstanding reliability in demanding, real-world conflict environments.

Open Systems

Integration

Adopts an elite mission systems integration approach that avoids proprietary silos, enabling government users to maintain flexibility and avoid vendor lock-in.

Agnostic Sensor &

Effector Fire Control

Our software supports a truly agnostic approach to sensor and effector fire control, allowing for rapid integration of future kinetic and non-kinetic weapons.

Reduced Integration

Risk

By transitioning a deployed, expeditionary, land-based system into the maritime domain, we minimize integration risks and accelerate development timelines.

Adaptable Maritime

Defense

Delivers an unparalleled, versatile defense network capable of operating and surviving on any class of surface vessel, providing warfighters with robust protection.
