Royal IHC and Demcon unmanned systems join forces for scalable autonomous maritime operations

Royal IHC and Demcon unmanned systems are entering into a strategic partnership to accelerate the deployment of unmanned and autonomous vessels in both the civil and defence sectors. The partnership has started with the development and integration of containerised Launch and Recovery Systems (LARS) for USVs and UUVs. This solution enables operators to deploy their autonomous and remote-controlled unmanned vessels more easily, efficiently and safely in existing operations and in a variety of conditions.
Both parties emphasise that the current containerised LARS solution is only the beginning of a broader collaboration. Royal IHC and Demcon unmanned systems share an ambitious vision for the future in which scalability, industrialisation and sustainable deployment of autonomous systems are central. Their common goal is to lower the threshold for large-scale, safe and future-proof deployment of USVs, UUVs and automation solutions. Read more...
