About Heavyfish
Heavyfish is Seasats’ larger hybrid-electric autonomous surface vessel, designed to carry up to 1,000 pounds of payload at speeds up to 12 knots. The approximately 9,000-pound platform is intended to remain deployed for as long as six months and can be launched from a vehicle or crane.
Mission configurations include radar, sonar, electronic equipment and other payloads for maritime-domain awareness, anti-submarine work, hydrographic survey, harbour security and high-value-unit escort. Heavyfish extends Seasats beyond its smaller solar-powered Lightfish architecture into higher-power defence and survey missions. The company expects to launch Heavyfish in 2026.
