UK-based autonomous maritime developer ZeroUSV has completed a series of capability demonstrations for the Royal Danish Navy after being competitively selected by Danish Defence.
The two-day deployment took place at a location approximately two hours northwest of Copenhagen, Denmark. The exercises were specifically designed to allow Danish Defence and the Royal Danish Navy to witness the easy mobilization and logistics of deploying the Oceanus12 uncrewed surface vessel firsthand, while evaluating the overall maturity of the platform.
Designed and built in the UK, the Oceanus12 incorporates a modular payload capability that allows for multi-role and multi-mission utilization. This flexible architecture provides the autonomous surface vessel with the capacity to support a wide range of defense and security missions.
Matthew Ratsey, Managing Director of ZeroUSV, said, “We were delighted to be selected by the Danish Defence to demonstrate our highly capable and technologically mature Oceanus12 USV in Denmark.
“To be competitively selected by Danish Defence, and given the opportunity to showcase the platform in country to the Danish Royal Navy, allowed us to prove how easily our platforms can be mobilised and the ability to re-role the USV for different missions in sequential days – from ISR to REA on back to back mission. This is the future and template for how autonomous maritime systems can support future naval operations.”
The deployment in Denmark represents a component of ZeroUSV’s continuous international engagement programme. Through these initiatives, the company aims to expand the reach of its sovereign uncrewed maritime capability across allied defense and security markets.
