About Typhoon

Typhoon is Splash Industries' small autonomous surface vessel with a cargo compartment and beach-landing capability for loading and delivery. Its command-and-control system connects remote operators to onboard VHF radio, allowing them to speak with nearby vessels. Satellite communications support mission supervision while the craft executes its route and approach.

During RIMPAC 2026, Typhoon used a stern-gate landing to deliver parts into USS Essex, where crew unloaded the cargo and returned the craft to the water. A separate mission transferred parts with USS Theodore Roosevelt's search-and-rescue boat. These trials combined autonomous vessel movement with human loading, unloading and coordination at the receiving ship.
