OCEANUS12
Product descripton: OCEANUS12 by ZeroUSV
The OCEANUS12 is a fully autonomous uncrewed surface vessel (USV) engineered for demanding bluewater missions. Designed for rapid global deployment, it combines multi-week endurance, modular payload integration, and reliable autonomous operation, delivering high-quality data and operational capability without the cost and complexity of crewed vessels.
Reliable. Transportable. Mission-ready.
Technical specifications
Operating Environment
Certified for harsh bluewater operations, the vessel features a durable aluminium hull and dual-redundant systems that eliminate single points of failure.
Operational capability includes:
- Survey operations in Sea State 4
- Transit operations in Sea State 6
- Survival capability up to Sea State 8
Mission Endurance
With an endurance of 20–36 days, OCEANUS12 is designed for persistent offshore presence and continuous data acquisition during long-duration autonomous deployments.
Typical Operations
- Offshore survey and seabed mapping
- Maritime security and ISR
- Oceanographic and environmental monitoring
- Subsea asset inspection and data acquisition
Payload & Flexibility
OCEANUS12 is built around a modular plug-and-play architecture that enables rapid integration of mission-specific payloads. A 4.0 × 2.2 m aft deck with an integrated track system supports deployable and towed equipment weighing up to 1,000 kg, while a gondola keel positioned 1.7 m below the waterline provides an optimized location for acoustic and subsea sensors.
The platform supports simultaneous multi-sensor configurations together with real-time onboard data processing and transmission for efficient deployment across a wide range of missions.
Key Features
- Modular aft deck (4.0 × 2.2 m, 1,000 kg capacity)
- Gondola keel supporting up to three subsea sensors
- A-frame mounting for topside systems
- Multi-voltage payload support
- Real-time data processing and transmission
