Greensea Systems, Inc., operating as Greensea IQ, has secured an $18,154,710 Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the US Navy to deliver hardware, software, and engineering technical services for maritime underwater controllers.
The seven-year, sole-source award was issued under the authority of 10 U.S. Code 3204(a)(1) by the Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific in San Diego, California. The contract focuses on advancing controllers utilized in the operation of both autonomous and remotely operated systems across diverse marine environments, positioning the company as a provider of subsea autonomous solutions for the Department of War.
Central to the contract is the Bayonet Underwater Controller (BUC), which operates alongside EOD Workspace software. This system is built upon the company’s Core open architecture software and integrates into the wider Bayonet product line. The comprehensive Bayonet technology stack features a scalable selection of Autonomous Underwater Ground Vehicles (AUGVs), remote navigation packages, mission execution software, and training simulators.
“Greensea makes some of the industry’s most matrix robotic platforms and software suites,” says Bayonet General Manager, Fred Gaghan. “The Bayonet portfolio is making defense forces more capable in addressing critical challenges across a broad spectrum of the operational environment. The Bayonet Underwater Controller (BUC) will be an essential component for warfighters conducting Special Warfare, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), and other sensitive underwater operations.”
The engineering of this product suite allows for flexible operational capabilities that span from challenging surfzone areas down through deepsea terrain. The technology is designed to provide more efficient and safer mission parameters for naval warfighters handling sensitive underwater operations.
