• 2026-07-21 - Deployment - Splash uses Typhoon for U.S. Navy resupply at RIMPAC 2026

  The Naval Postgraduate School and FLEETWERX integrated autonomous maritime delivery with expeditionary manufacturing. The end-to-end workflow manufactured, transported, assembled and employed components in less than 24 hours. The trial tested remote vessel operation and communications with Navy ships in an operational fleet exercise.
