Brunswick Corp. last week announced that its vessels, Mercury Marine propulsion systems and Navico Group systems will provide the platform for Textron’s Tsunami uncrewed surface vessels.
Multiple Tsunami USVs supported the U.S. Navy’s Fleet Experimentation exercise in Key West, Fla., in late April, and enabled three months of joint operations with U.S. Southern Command and the U.S. Navy Fourth Fleet.
“Brunswick … brings together a broad portfolio of boats, propulsion, advanced marine electronics and control systems into a unique integrated package, and we’re applying that capability to help enable the next generation of assisted and autonomous capabilities on the water,” CEO Dave Foulkes said in a statement. “We’re proud to support Textron Systems and the U.S. government with commercially proven and rapidly scalable platforms and technology that can be quickly deployed to accelerate experimentation, learning and operational readiness.”
