Blue Ops begins ramping Variant 7 into full-rate production
Blue Ops began ramping its U.S.-built Variant 7 uncrewed surface vessel into full-rate production across manufacturing operations in Maine and Valdosta, Georgia.
Evidence notes
- Variant 7 combines a domestic autonomy, command-and-control, communications and mission-systems stack.
- The production design prioritises U.S.-made and NDAA-compliant navigation, control, marine-hardware and perception components.
- Blue Ops uses a modular open systems architecture so customers can configure payloads, sensors, communications and mission systems.
