Blacktip

Autonomous underwater vehicle with Resilient Mission Autonomy™. Enhances sonar accuracy & operational efficiency in dynamic environments.

Metron’s innovative Low-Profile Unmanned Surface Vessel (LP-USV) offers a stealthy long-range blue water-to-littoral platform that provides sensor persistence and delivers kinetic and non-kinetic payloads to the tactical edge.

Robust platform communications, sensing, and mission management are driven by Metron’s advanced ANCC autonomy suite.

Vessel supports emergent multi-vehicle collaboration, pairing sensors with organic processing to form a local sensing grid that enhances high-value target custody and threat reporting.

Mission-focused autonomy delivering maritime domain awareness
