General – Partnership
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 Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) and Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (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. Their common goal is to lower the threshold for large-scale, safe, and future-proof deployment of USVs, UUVs, and automation solutions.
Royal IHC contributes its expertise as a high-tech system integrator and shipbuilder for complex and automated work vessels.
Demcon Unmanned Systems adds its innovative technologies and experience in the field of remote control and autonomous unmanned vessels.
