Cross Water Modular is a manned platform engineered with integration pathways for remote operation and future autonomy. Not a USV product today — a platform designed to become one when reliability, training, and regulatory acceptance are ready.
Many unmanned surface vessel (USV) products promise autonomy today, often ahead of what reliability and regulation can responsibly support. Cross Water takes a different posture. The platform is built manned first — reliable, field-capable, professional grade — with standardized interfaces, a modular architecture, and integration pathways that let remote operation and autonomous capability be added as upgrade paths over the hull's 25+ year service life.
Field-capable, professional-grade platform delivered without speculative autonomy claims.
Hull, electrical system, and rail interfaces engineered to accept autonomy components.
Specialised power/data sockets and sensor mount points accept third-party autonomy stacks.
Remote operation, manned-unmanned teaming, and autonomy added incrementally as the stack matures.
Manned-unmanned teaming roadmaps and fleet autonomy integration
Autonomous patrol and surveillance planning
Autonomous systems testing on a manned-capable hull
Platform partners for sensor and autonomy stack development
Autonomous inspection and monitoring roadmaps
Autonomous survey payload operators
Sensor mount points, specialised power/data sockets, and integration space for autonomy stack components.
Integration pathways for remote operation comms fit (SATCOM, mesh, line-of-sight).
Electric steering and console architecture designed to accept remote and autonomous control inputs.
Integration pathways for remote-operated weapon systems where nationally authorized.
The platform is engineered for autonomy readiness. Configured autonomy module sets are developed through partner integrations and operator-specific engineering at quotation stage.
The hull, electrical architecture, and modular rail system are built to accept autonomy components without hull redesign. Adoption is incremental — starting with remote operation and teleoperation, progressing through manned-unmanned teaming, toward fully autonomous mission sets as operational context allows. The 25+ year service life and modular evolution protect residual value as autonomy technology matures.
