Textron Systems is enhancing its autonomous naval portfolio with a fifth-generation Multi-Mission Unmanned Surface Vessel (MMUSV), designed to carry larger payloads, travel greater distances, and perform a broader spectrum of naval missions.

Built on Textron’s common unmanned surface vehicle (CUSV) platform, the new vessel offers nearly double the payload capacity of previous iterations, supporting up to 5,900 kilograms (13,000 pounds).

The increased payload, combined with extended endurance and operational range, enables the MMUSV to conduct surface warfare, mine countermeasure operations, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), and signals intelligence missions.
