Single-mission platforms can't keep up
The Challenge
Current USVs are single-mission platforms. When the mission changes, the vessel goes back to depot for weeks of hardware swaps. In contested waters, you don’t have weeks. The fleet needs a platform that adapts at the pier, not the factory.
The Reality
MV-20 uses modular payload bays that reconfigure pier-side in hours, not weeks. Open architecture means new sensors and effectors integrate without re-engineering the hull. The autonomy stack (H.E.L.M.) runs the platform regardless of what’s in the bays.

Headline Evidence
MV-20 completed a 600+ nautical mile endurance mission in the Gulf of Mexico. Multi-day, open-ocean transit from Panama City Beach, FL. Autonomous navigation, sustained Sea State 3–4 operations.
