Secretly developed Needlefish set to advance autonomous sea defense

Ocean Infinity has officially launched the Needlefish, a high-speed autonomous Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV), marking its entry into autonomous maritime patrol technology. Revealed at an event in Kuwait alongside the Kuwaiti Coast Guard (KCG), the Needlefish is a 46-foot catamaran jet boat capable of speeds up to 40 knots, equipped with specialized maritime surveillance sensors. Kuwait has purchased two vessels and twin remote control stations as part of a significant upgrade to its national security, integrating the Needlefish into a new maritime surveillance system covering 11,000 square kilometers of territorial waters. These vessels will be operated from newly established onshore Command Centers. The Needlefish is not a standalone system but a critical component of a comprehensive maritime surveillance network developed by SRT Marine Systems. It is fully integrated within the SRT C5iSR maritime surveillance system, which provides a broad security overview by leveraging Ocean Infinity’s advanced robotics, software, and marine intelligence technology.
