Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USVs) are solar-powered, sail-equipped autonomous platforms that can operate continuously for weeks without crew or fuel, making them ideal for long-range maritime surveillance and monitoring suspicious vessel activities, as demonstrated by the Royal New Zealand Navy's joint operation with New Zealand Customs Service in Northland to detect potential narcotics trafficking.

Joint Uncrewed Surface Vessel operation with Customs | Royal New Zealand Navy本站添加:
The Navy recently conducted a joint operation with the New Zealand Customs Service in Northland in order to identify and monitor contacts of interest suspected of smuggling narcotics.
For this we use our latest capability, the uncrewed surface vessels Tahi and Rua. At just over 7 m long, they're solar-powered with a sail and can travel up to 5 knots, which is around 10 km an hour by wind, sun, or even wave action.
And because they don't have crew and don't require fuel, >> [music] >> they can stay at sea for weeks at a time. Even if they're operating in New Zealand waters or out in the Pacific, we can control them from this control room at Devonport Naval Base.
Their high-spec [music] camera technology and surveillance equipment provides real-time imagery and footage of the contacts of interest. Once identified and we've determined we need closer inspection, we can inform the Customs team who will [music] then investigate as required.
Uncrewed platforms, and in this instance uncrewed surface vessels, are important part of the Defense [music] Force's move to deploying smarter, more sustainable, and more effective autonomous assets in an increasingly uncertain environment.
