Greensea Systems, Inc., known as Greensea IQ, has received a $3.7 million task order from the United States Marine Corps for the procurement of four additional Bayonet 250 Autonomous Underwater Ground Vehicles.
This acquisition, issued under an existing multi-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract, continues the Marine Corps’ investment in these autonomous platforms. The systems will support the Littoral Explosive Ordnance Neutralization Family of Systems, which provides critical capabilities for mine countermeasures and subsea threat mitigation in the littoral battlespace. While the Marine Corps represents the earliest adopter of these vehicles for mine warfare, Greensea IQ reports growing engagement with various other defense agencies and international allies.
The Bayonet 250 is designed as the adaptable workhorse of the company’s autonomous ground vehicle lineup. It represents the only commercially-ready unmanned amphibious robot capable of navigating continuously from the deep ocean, through the surf zone, and onto dry land. This unique operational range enables the crawler to operate across challenging seabed, littoral, and coastal environments that remain inaccessible to other robotic systems.
Equipped with open-architecture autonomy software called Greensea IQ Core paired with Bayonet Workspace, the vehicle is purpose-built for high-risk unmanned subsea reacquisition and threat neutralization missions. These vehicles are part of a broader technology suite that includes remote navigation packages, mission execution software, and training simulators, all designed to make naval warfighter missions safer and more efficient. For two decades, Greensea IQ has specialized in developing autonomous maritime technology for complex and dangerous environments, supporting commercial and defense operators worldwide.
