Unmanned Surface Vessels

Defining the Future of All-Domain Operations

MADE IN THE USA

OVERVIEW

In partnership with the leading USV manufacturer, Red Cat is proud to introduce its line of Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) with integrated sensors and kinetic-strike capabilities that redefine maritime autonomy and lethality. Our mission is to support national defense with innovative, mission-ready platforms – while playing a vital role in revitalizing the American maritime industry through advanced manufacturing, strategic partnerships, and unwavering commitment to U.S.-based innovation.

“This system has been used day in and day out in the current conflict, accumulating tens of thousands of hours in real combat operations and achieving dozens of successful kinetic engagements against enemy assets more than any navy since World War II.”

Jeff Thompson, CEO, Red Cat

5-Meter Variant

Introducing our 5-meter variant battle-proven Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV), to the U.S. and allied defense markets. Designed for speed, stealth, and precision, this variant delivers lethal strike capabilities in a compact, highly maneuverable platform built for today’s contested maritime environments.

BENEFITS
Designed for speed, stealth, and precision, the 5-meter variant delivers lethal strike capabilities in a compact, highly maneuverable platform built for today's contested maritime environments.
Its modular design supports a range of payloads—from kinetic strike packages to ISR and EW systems—enabling mission flexibility across surveillance, interdiction, and high-value target engagements.
As part of Red Cat’s integrated family of unmanned solutions, the 5-meter variant is engineered for multi-domain operations, working in tandem with our drone and autonomous technologies to deliver coordinated maritime and aerial dominance.
Manufactured in the United States, our line of unmanned service vessels support both national defense priorities and local economic growth, aligning with the U.S. Maritime Action Plan to revitalize American shipbuilding and unmanned systems innovation.
Not just a vessel—it’s a disruptive force multiplier for modern naval warfare.
