DeepTrek and Blue Gulf to Unveil New USV at Private Showcases During NavDex
DeepTrek and Blue Gulf will introduce their latest strategic defense asset USV at an exclusive, invitation-only showcase running alongside NavDex Abu Dhabi 2025 from February 17–21 at the Blue Gulf dockside.
This next-generation USV is designed to enhance maritime security, surveillance, and operational efficiency. Featuring an advanced .USV command and control system, it offers unmatched autonomy, modular payload integration, and integrated swarm capabilities, making it a force multiplier for defence and security applications.
The USV is built exclusively in the UAE though our partnership with Blue Gulf Cat supplying the high-performance hull, engineered for stability and endurance ready for multiple types of open-ocean or coastal operations. It provides scalable, cost-effective, and rapidly deployable solutions for modern naval forces.
.USV, the advanced command and control system designed to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of platforms and mission profiles. .USV is built to enhance operational effectiveness, offering real-time situational awareness, autonomous decision-making, and scalable fleet coordination. With its open-architecture design, it ensures cross-platform compatibility and rapid adaptability to evolving mission needs.
The showcase is supported by key industry partners, each playing a critical role in the development of this cutting-edge vessel:
🔹 Cox Marine – providing advanced diesel outboard engines that deliver high torque and fuel efficiency for extended-range operations;
🔹 Videoray Robotics – integrating ROV technology for remote subsea inspection, security, and intervention capabilities;
🔹 Voyis – supplying next-generation subsea imaging systems to enhance situational awareness and data collection;
🔹 Microavia – delivering drone solutions to expand aerial reconnaissance and support integrated multi-domain operations for air and seaborne impact;
🔹 Exalto Emirates – providing essential marine equipment and systems to ensure the reliability and performance of the USV in challenging environments.
The private showcase will feature static displays and live demonstrations, allowing guests to experience the USV’s capabilities in real-world conditions. Attendees will gain firsthand insight into how this platform is shaping the future of uncrewed maritime operations.
🎤 James Usher, COO of DeepTrek, emphasized the importance of controlled, private showcases for unveiling new defense technologies: “In a rapidly evolving security landscape, it’s essential to demonstrate our innovations in a setting where decision-makers can engage meaningfully, see the technology in action, and discuss its applications in depth. This event ensures that key stakeholders have direct access to the capabilities and potential of our latest USV.”
🎤 Peter Walker, Director of Technology at .USV, highlighted its significance:
“The .USV system is more than just an interface, it’s the key to unlocking the full potential of uncrewed systems at sea. Our focus has been on creating a platform that empowers operators with intuitive control, deep intelligence, and mission-ready adaptability.”
