DCTO is looking to procure a multi-role Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) testbed, for the purpose of technology demonstration which can be delivered by the end of FY26/27. The vessel is expected to operate in three primary configurations:
•Standalone uncrewed operations from a shore-based Remote Operating Centre (ROC)
•Integrated operations alongside a mothership (e.g. embarked or supported by a host platform)
•Distributed multi-platform operations alongside other USVs
Typical mission profiles will include:
•Long-range transits to operating areas
•Persistent loiter operations with active payload use
•Technology trials involving sensor, autonomy and payload integration
