Moog demonstrates RIwP counter-drone turret on Voltaic autonomous USV
Moog and Voltaic Marine demonstrated RIwP detection and tracking on the AEU39 autonomous surface vessel during the U.S. Navy Coastal Trident Demo.
Evidence notes
- The AEU39 uses an electric-hybrid architecture with solar integration for long-duration station keeping in fleet-protection, littoral-defence and port-security missions.
- Moog describes RIwP as weapon-, sight- and platform-agnostic, roughly one-third the weight of the standard turret and configurable with a 30 mm cannon and multiple missile effectors.
- The integration moved RIwP from its established land role into the maritime domain on a wireless unmanned surface platform.
