A SHIP THAT FINDS ENEMY SUBS IS SMART. 

AN AUTONOMOUS FLEET THAT FINDS THEM IS SMARTER.

With proven autonomous solutions already in the water, Leidos is setting the pace when it comes to the most challenging aspects of Unmanned Vehicle (UxV) requirements—leaving others in our wake.

Leidos bridges a 50-year heritage of supporting the Navy with an unrivaled, innovative approach to solve next level autonomy challenges. As the Navy prepares to bring additional autonomous capabilities to the fleet, Leidos already has ships and small vessels at sea, building on our years of focused effort to design, develop, and deliver fully autonomous vessels for the Navy's most advanced missions.

Sea Archer

Sea Archer™ is a high-speed maritime platform built for high risk missions. This small unmanned surface vessel (sUSV) can reach speeds of up to 40 knots, has a range of 1,500 nautical miles and can carry payloads exceeding 2,000 pounds. Seamless integration with Leidos ADEPT and AlphaMosaic enable smart, autonomous fleet operations.
