NAVICTUS offers the NAV‑45, an autonomous electric surface vessel designed for coastal security missions. The vessel delivers up to 25 knots speed, 150 nm range per charge, and a modular payload bay for sensors and equipment, supported by AI‑driven navigation and secure command‑and‑control for persistent patrols. It is sold to defense ministries, coast guard agencies, and critical‑infrastructure operators with optional support and software licensing.

Problem
Coastal and littoral security operations rely on manned patrol craft that are costly to operate, have limited endurance, and require extensive crew resources. Existing platforms often lack the flexibility to integrate diverse sensor suites or mission payloads, reducing their effectiveness for rapid response and infrastructure protection.
Solution
NAVICTUS delivers the NAV‑45, a purpose‑built autonomous surface vessel that combines high‑efficiency electric propulsion with AI‑driven navigation to execute persistent maritime defense missions. The platform’s modular payload architecture enables rapid reconfiguration for surveillance, interdiction, or critical‑infrastructure monitoring without returning to dock. Onboard sensor fusion and real‑time path planning allow the vessel to operate up to 25 knots, cover 150 nm on a single charge, and maintain autonomous operation for extended patrols. Operators access a secure command‑and‑control console that provides live telemetry, mission‑level situational awareness, and remote override capabilities. The system is engineered to meet naval standards for durability, low acoustic signature, and cybersecurity, ensuring reliable deployment in contested littoral environments.
Target Audience
Primary customers are national defense ministries, coast guard services, and critical‑infrastructure operators (ports, offshore facilities) that require autonomous, high‑performance surface assets for surveillance and rapid response.
Features
- Dual electric propulsion motors with integrated battery‑management system delivering >25 kt top speed and 150 nm range per charge
