Air. Surface. Subsea. One Coordinated Operation.

The first operational system designed for simultaneous control across three domains by a coordinated multi-operator crew.
Simultaneous control across three domains by a coordinated multi-operator crew.

The First True Multi-Domain Operational Platform

Trident is not a vehicle. It is a coordinated operational system.

A single platform enabling:

  • Aerial deployment

  • Surface positioning

  • Subsea intervention

All executed simultaneously by a distributed crew.


Multi-Crew by Design. Not by Adaptation.

Traditional systems are built for a single operator.Trident is engineered from the ground up for team-based operations.


👥 TRIPLE CONTROL SECTION


Distributed Control. Unified Execution.

Trident introduces a triple GCS architecture, enabling real-time coordination across mission layers.

UAV Operator

Controls aerial insertion and navigation to target area.

ROV Operator

Executes subsea inspection, tracking, and intervention.

Surface / Mission Controller

Maintains buoy positioning, system stability, and mission coordination.

All operators work simultaneously within a unified control environment.

From Deployment to Depth — In One Continuous Sequence

Current System Status


Phase II Operational

Trident is currently operational across:

  • Subsea ROV platform

  • Autonomous buoy vessel

  • Remote communications system



Final Phase of UAV Integration completes Operational Capabilities

UAV Integration in Progress

The aerial deployment module is under integration.

This final phase will enable:

  • UAV-based rapid deployment

  • Extended operational reach

  • Full multi-domain capability




OPERATIONAL FLOW

From Deployment to Depth — In One Continuous Sequence

  1. Launch (On Shore, or Off-shore)

    UAV transports the system at high speed to the target area


  2. Hover & Deploy

    Controlled transition from air to surface


  3. Station Keeping

    Autonomous surface positioning in dynamic conditions


  4. Subsea Operations

    ROV deployment, navigation, and target interaction


  5. Recovery

    Uav re-Activates after ROV is safely recovered inside the Trident Buoy/Vessel,

    Takes off and RTBs to departure location


No recovery. No reconfiguration. No interruption.


⚙️ SYSTEM CAPABILITIES

  • Multi-domain simultaneous operation

  • Triple GCS architecture

  • Multi-vehicle selection and control

  • Up to 10 km LOS / BVLOS-ready operations

  • Heavy payload UAV deployment

  • Integrated tether and power management

  • Modular mission payloads


🧠 DIFFERENTIATION

Not a Drone. Not a Vessel. Not an ROV.

Trident is the integration of all three.

Built to operate where:

  • speed matters

  • persistence is required

  • and precision is critical
