JEANERETTE, La. - Metal Shark shipbuilding was selected to develop and implement the Long Range Unmanned Surface Vessel (LRUSV) System for the Marine Corps. LRUSV system is to usher in a new era of naval technology while increasing lethality of forces with a network of unmanned vessels traveling autonomously for extended ranges and transporting loitering munitions to address targets at sea and on land. Metal Shark enlisted developer Spatial Integrated Systems (SIS), which was recently acquired by Huntington Ingalls Industries, to provide the autonomy solution for the LRUSV system. Metal Shark will design, build, test, and implement the vessels and will handle the integration of the autonomy system and an advanced Command and Control (C2) software suite. The LRUSV program is the latest success for Metal Shark’s Sharktech Autonomous Vessels division, a wholly-owned subsidiary launched in 2018 and focused on the advancement of unmanned vessel technology.
