The A45 USV primary missions are patrolling, surveillance, search and rescue, and transit around mother ships, base stations, and islands. A45 USV can also help with anti-piracy operations, anti-drug and anti-weapons trafficking, and preventing illegal fishing. The A45 USV can be armed to attack surface targets.
The A45 USV has autonomous, obstacle avoidance, and swarm capabilities. According to the company, the A45 USV is not easily detectable (less than 5 kilometers in range) thanks to its aluminum alloy hull and stealth shape.
The A45 USV can be controlled by one of two console types: a 1.8mX0.81m console or a laptop. The operator uses the console to plan the route and tasks to be completed, as well as to send instructions to the A45 USVs. The A45 USV sails along the predetermined route, avoiding obstacles autonomously along the way.
