Ocius Bluebottle USV: Securing the global maritime domain through persistent ISR
by Ocius Technology Ltd on 05/03/2026 11:39 PM
The Ocius Bluebottle Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) is a cutting-edge, autonomous maritime platform designed for persistent surveillance and low-observable surface and subsurface ISR capability.
Powered by a unique combination of solar, wind, and wave energy – and with a diesel hybrid variant now available – the Bluebottle USV offers unparalleled endurance and operational efficiency.
Key Features:
- Proven Capability: Bluebottles are operated and validated in sustained real‑world missions, include 24/7/365 real-world operations since Jul 2024, demonstrating 300+ operational days per year on mission.
- Sustainable Power: Utilizes solar, wind and wave energy, allowing it to remain at sea for extended periods without the need for refuelling.
- Diesel Hybrid: Add 400 litres of diesel capacity, to operate in high latitudes or support high power payloads
- Advanced Navigation: Capable of navigating freely and indefinitely, thanks to its intelligent network and autonomous capabilities.
- Innovative Design: Features a patented solar sail, rudder-flipper, and keel winch, enhancing its performance and adaptability in diverse sea conditions.
- Safety and Efficiency: Eliminates the need for crew, reducing risks and operational costs while providing continuous and wide coverage.
The Bluebottle USV, is designed for various applications including:
- Defense and Security: Delivering persistent surface ISR, ASW, gateway communications and hydrography.
- Maritime Surveillance: Monitoring and patrolling coastal areas.
- Environmental Monitoring: Collecting data on ocean conditions and marine life.
- Research and Data Collection: Assisting scientific research with real-time data.
The Ocius Bluebottle USV is a testament to Australian innovation, offering superior payload, power, and performance for long-endurance operations while maintaining an acoustically quiet environment for ASW operations. Whether for defence, scientific research, or commercial use, the Bluebottle USV is transforming the future of maritime operations.
Ocius is capable of large-scale production. Our design, build, operate, and sustain model ensures full lifecycle support for our customers.
