Lee Ebsworth, Chief Commercial Officer at SubSea Craft, introduces the new MARS unmanned surface vessel (USV) showcased for the first time at DSEI UK 2025. Taken from concept to on the water in only 100 days, MARS offers a low-signature, mission-configurable design to maximise autonomy, survivability and operational disruption in contested environments.
=====================
MARS encompasses the latest innovations in USV technology, with multi-role applications for a variety of force objectives including:
- Wingman support to minimise risk to manned deployments and provide a force multiplying effect at the vanguard of the fleet.
- Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities including long-range surveillance to increase the recognised maritime picture in environments with degraded communications.
- Multi-domain payloads and modular integration, allowing for both kinetic and non-kinetic effects on target. This includes the integration of Anduril’s ALTIUS.
Following its manufacture in the UK, MARS has undergone extensive testing and validation with AUKUS partners, including open water tests with the Australian Maritime College – which signed an R&D partnership with SSC in 2023.
