Unmanned Survey Solutions (USS) designs, builds and operates Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs).

At the heart of USS is a desire to make surveying easier, safer and cheaper compared to manned vessel solutions. Our designs are spawned from in-depth knowledge and experience of using sonars and other sensors for survey operations. We incorporate ease of installation, calibration and operation of the payload equipment. Safety of operation and robustness when working in the marine environmental all form key aspects in how we create reliable products and solutions which we offer to the international market for hire or purchase.

The USS Inception Class MK II is a modular, versatile and robust inland waters USV, composed of tough aluminium hulls, weed cutting propellers and a modular payload pod system for fitting a variety of sonar and environmental sensing equipment. The payload pod can be fitted with a variety of sensors.

The USS Accession USV is a unique solution offering one vessel design at three different vessel lengths. Specifically designed to meet the challenges of surveying in the nearshore and offshore environments this vessel has a base design length of 3.50m with optional additional hull sections to create 4.25m and 5.00m variants.
