Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the maximum length 5 meters?
Our manufacturing facility and transport logistics are optimized for hulls up to 5 meters. For larger vessels, we can discuss project-specific arrangements.
Can you integrate our sensor mounting system?
Yes. Provide us your sensor specifications and mounting interface drawings. We will design the hull with integrated mounting points.
What material do you recommend for USV hulls?
For most applications we recommend FRP with sandwich core construction — it offers the best balance of strength-to-weight ratio and cost-effectiveness.
Do you provide prototype samples?
Yes. We can produce a single prototype hull for testing before committing to production orders.
