Subsidiaries > Integrated Maritime > Unmanned Surface VehiclesRadix Marine's subsidiary, Integrated Maritime Platforms International, Inc. (IMPII), is a member of a three-way industry consortium to develop an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) for the U.S. Navy. The program is called the SPARTAN Advanced Concept Technical Demonstration (ACTD). Under ACTD contracts, rapid research and development efforts are achieved through spiral engineering vice traditional methods. The objective for ACTDs is to develop a product during the contract that then becomes a program for acquisition by the government. As a member of the development team for the SPARTAN USV, Radix Marine is uniquely positioned to be the ultimate provider of the craft to the U.S. Navy or other military branches of United States and ally nations. Radix Marine's vision for the USV is a nautical cross between the aerial Predator drone and the land-cruising Humvee. The unmanned vessel technology that IMPII is developing as part of the industry consortium on behalf of the U.S. Navy for the SPARTAN USV ACTD includes Northrop Grumman and Raytheon Co.
