Advancing Maritime Autonomy with Scalable Uncrewed Integration

With over four decades of experience in autonomous systems design and deployment, Textron Systems remains a key enabler of uncrewed capability within the defense sector. Read more >>

Building on the success of its Common Unmanned Surface Vehicle (CUSV®), the company continues to evolve its portfolio of modular, multi-mission maritime solutions tailored to meet the demands of dynamic and contested naval operations.

At the forefront of this evolution is the TSUNAMI™ family — Textron Systems’ latest line of autonomous maritime surface vessels designed to provide a cost-effective, rapidly deployable platform for force multiplication at sea.

Trusted USV Integration for Multi-Mission Environments

Textron Systems brings extensive experience in uncrewed surface vessel (USV) integration, delivering platforms that enhance situational awareness, operational reach, and mission versatility. Its proven track record in autonomous control, sensor integration, and communications systems positions the company as a trusted partner for naval and allied forces seeking to expand uncrewed capabilities.

Deployed in support of missions ranging from ISR and mine countermeasures to logistics and force protection, Textron Systems’ uncrewed platforms are designed with open architecture principles that support modular payload integration and future upgrade paths.

TSUNAMI: A Scalable Autonomy Platform

The TSUNAMI family represents a significant step forward in modular maritime autonomy. Based on the proven autonomy control systems used in CUSV®, TSUNAMI integrates seamlessly with Brunswick Corporation’s high-performance vessels to deliver a scalable and interoperable platform suited for a broad range of operational requirements.

Key features include:

• Scalability: Built on a reliable platform architecture, TSUNAMI systems can be rapidly produced and tailored to specific mission needs.
• Interoperability: An open architecture design supports integration across diverse naval systems and payloads.
• Mission Flexibility: TSUNAMI vessels are suited for a variety of mission profiles, including surveillance, logistics, and force protection, adapting to the evolving needs of naval operators.

Enabling Next-Generation Naval Operations

Textron Systems’ continued innovation in maritime autonomy reinforces its leadership in uncrewed integration. By delivering flexible, mission-ready solutions through platforms like TSUNAMI, the company is equipping maritime forces with the tools needed for persistent, intelligent, and networked operations.

As demand for autonomous capability accelerates, Textron Systems remains focused on advancing uncrewed technology that enhances mission readiness, reduces operational risk, and strengthens strategic advantage across the maritime domain.
