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.

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
Launch (On Shore, or Off-shore)
UAV transports the system at high speed to the target area
Hover & Deploy
Controlled transition from air to surface
Station Keeping
Autonomous surface positioning in dynamic conditions
Subsea Operations
ROV deployment, navigation, and target interaction
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
