Zeabuz announced the launch of its defense and security autonomy platform on Oct 2. The launch, unveiled together with Damen Shipyards Group during the Damen Maritime Festival, marks a transformative step in the company’s evolution and positions Zeabuz as a true dual-use technology provider for both civilian and naval applications.
As part of this launch, Zeabuz has integrated its autonomy system on the ZeaFalcon, a 7-meter Damen HDPE Uncrewed Surface Vessel optimized for defense and security applications. The system comprises a full suite of cutting-edge operational capabilities including autonomous navigation, collision avoidance, remote command and control, autodocking, and connectivity-denied operations.
These autonomy features directly address critical challenges in the defense and security domain. By reducing the need for human presence in high-risk environments, the system will protect lives during demanding naval missions such as intelligence, surveillance & reconnaissance (ISR), search and rescue (SAR), and mine countermeasures (MCM). At the same time, it enhances force effectiveness by enabling a single operator to manage multiple vessels simultaneously, allowing naval customers to expand their operational reach without increasing manpower.
