During MARSEC West, Splash Industries will be showcasing the vessel’s capabilities in live demonstrations off the coast of Los Angeles.


Hoverfly Technologies Tethered Drone

Hoverfly Technologies is revolutionizing the government and commercial markets for long-duration, small footprint aerial surveillance andsecure long-range communications with tethered technology. By enabling continuous power and high-bandwidth data through a persistent tether link, our drones can remain on-station in the air almost indefinitely, providing surveillance, targeting, and communications relay functions – while stationary or on-the-move – from vehicles or vessels.


Havoc’s 14′ Rampage Vessel

Havoc’s 14′ Rampage vessel will demonstrate multiple autonomous collaborative behaviors including search and rescue, blockade, and various maritime security capabilities. At a fraction of the cost of competitors, Rampage — using Havoc’s autonomy stack — is the most affordable, most ready maritime security solution.
