ThayerMahan Partners with Ocius to Revolutionize USV Technology

Discover how our collaboration with Ocius is driving innovation in autonomous maritime operations.

In a recent feature with Asia-Pacific Defense Reporter, ThayerMahan was highlighted in a compelling Q&A about our collaboration with Australian-based USV manufacturer, Ocius. In the interview, Ocius CEO Robert Dane shares how ThayerMahan has been using their cutting-edge Bluebottle USVs for marine mammal monitoring and trials with the U.S. Navy. Not only did we purchase two Bluebottles after their successful demonstration off San Diego, but we've also expanded our partnership, acquiring more units to support critical defense and renewable energy projects.

Discover why the Bluebottle stands out as a game-changer in autonomous, over-the-horizon operations, and how we're helping lead the way in persistent unmanned surface vessel (USV) capabilities. With an Ocius Bluebottle integrated into its design, our Outpost unmanned undersea surveillance system delivers a critical capability for Pillar II of the trilateral AUKUS agreement, and continues to push the boundaries of maritime technology.
