Bayonet Sweep Rapid autonomous hull inspection for marine security
Bayonet Sweep

Bayonet Sweep is an agile hull crawling robot designed for rapid underwater inspection by port and harbor authorities, security teams, and naval operators. The vehicle can work in free-flight mode or attach directly to a hull using non-magnetic vortex adhesion, supporting both submerged visual surveys and close-contact examination. 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 operations in low-visibility marine environments.

Sweep integrates inspection, anomaly detection, classification, operator notification, and georeferenced reporting into a single workflow. Greensea Core and Bayonet Workspace provide topside personnel with real-time camera feeds, detection information, and visibility of vehicle operation. Its portable configuration supports rapid deployment, while multiple vehicles can operate independently across different hull areas at the same time. The modular chassis also accommodates custom payload configurations for specialized underwater inspection requirements.
