Through our formal partnership with Unique Group, a global leader in subsea technology and engineering, The USV Group provides direct access to an award winning fleet of survey ready uncrewed surface vessels. Every deployment is backed by our qualified operators, project management and regulatory approval.
The Uni-USV range has a proven track record across survey, surveillance, environmental and offshore applications worldwide. Recent projects include nearshore pipeline inspection in Netherlands and harbour monitoring in Australia.
A rig entry debris survey in Scotland was completed in under two hours against more than a day by conventional methods. A port survey in Saudi Arabia covered more than 24,000 line kilometres. In 2025 the fleet was recognised with the UK Ports Innovation Award.
One agreement. One point of contact. From platform selection to data delivery.

UNI—PACT
Stable. Tough. Versatile. Proven.
The Uni-Pact is a remotely controlled catamaran USV developed to deliver efficient bathymetry from an unmanned platform. Its tough moulded polyethylene hull and alloy deck make it exceptionally stable and versatile. Market leading multi-beam/single beam and sub-bottom survey systems integrate closely with ancillary sensors and communication links. The result is a proven platform for surveying in locations where conventional vessels are simply not practical.
Specifications

Communication: LOS Radio 900 MHz, H16 Controller, Starlink/4G
Standard Equipment
Fully integrated and calibrated USV survey solution
Manual control or preset autonomous routes updated at any point via a PC based GUI
Reconfigurable payload pod for sonar and other sensors
Survey PC independent of the autopilot and control PC
Survey software agnostic including Hypack, QINSy and Eiva
Optional Equipment
Multibeam echosounder
Single beam echosounder
Sub bottom profiler
Hydropact pipetracker
FIGS CP system
Norbit iLiDAR
Additional Sensor Raft
Additional cameras to requirement
Built for Real Surveys
A reconfigurable payload pod and an independent survey PC mean the Uni-Pact adapts to the mission rather than the other way round. Commercial payloads deployed to date span multibeam, sub bottom profiling and pipetracking along with CP inspection and LiDAR.
Shallow and Confined Waters
The Uni-Pact operates where crewed platforms cannot. Its record runs from a 12 km nearshore pipeline survey in extremely shallow Dutch waters to dam surveys in India, where conventional vessels were impractical.
Remote by Design
Line of sight radio, an H16 controller and Starlink or 4G connectivity enable true remote operations. A full rig entry debris survey in Scotland was piloted from Denmark and completed in under two hours.

Swappable battery system
Optional Equipment
Survey software integration with QINSy or Hypack
Compatibility with major industry standard payloads subject to dimensions and weight
Additional cameras to requirement
Custom hull colours to match client branding
Two Person Deployable
No slipway, no crane and no support vessel. The Uni-Mini launches by hand from shore or from a mothership. It has proven itself in constrained environments from live marinas in Australia to oyster habitat restoration sites in Scotland.
Precision Where It Counts
Deployed on hydrographic multibeam work in Australia, the Uni-Mini achieved autonomous accuracy within 30 cm. This eliminated rework and proved its effectiveness in areas that conventional vessels cannot reach.
Silent and Sustainable
Fully electric propulsion delivers zero emission operation with minimal disturbance. That makes it ideal for environmentally sensitive sites, long term dredging campaigns and monitoring programmes in busy harbours.

PROTECTING
MARINE LIFE
WITH AI
Lookout+ is an advanced, vision-based AI platform developed specifically for maritime applications. Its key focus is detecting and classifying marine mammals in real time, for both crewed and uncrewed vessels to avoid potentially harmful interactions.
In collaboration with Greenroom Robotics and Plymouth Marine Laboratory, The USV Group’s initiative brings this innovation to Smart Sound for UK trials targeting resident Dolphin and Porpoise populations in Plymouth Sound. These trials are part of a broader initiative to reduce the risk of vessel strikes and provide vital data in sensitive marine environments for pre-consent surveys and site monitoring programs.
Lookout+ Key
Capabilities.
Real-Time Detection & Classification
Lookout+ identifies and classifies different species of marine mammals as they are encountered.
Extended Detection Range
The system can detect marine mammals up to 670 meters away and classify them accurately at distances up to 330 meters.
Multi-Sensor Integration
Lookout+ fuses data from optical, infrared (IR), radar (ARPA), and AIS sensors to create a detailed, all-weather view of the surrounding environment.
Smart Alert System
Customisable alerts notify crews when marine mammals are nearby, improving response time and enhancing safety protocols.
360° Situational Awareness
Multiple Lookout+ units can be combined to provide full 360-degree coverage, far exceeding the detection ability of traditional human lookouts.
By trialling Lookout+ across its network, The USV Group is helping to demonstrate how innovative AI solutions can play a critical role in marine conservation and operational safety.
