Segmented removable mast fairings improve impact resistance and maintenance access while preserving hydrodynamic performance.
Interchangeable tower modules let watercraft swap radar and radio functions while tilted walls help lower radar cross-section.
A stacked mast layout isolates a rotating drone link antenna in its own radome to save space and limit electromagnetic interference.
Controlled buoyancy lets a capsized autonomous sailing vessel submerge, rotate upright underwater, and resurface without human intervention.
A self-locking worm gear and pin system cants and secures the keel to control heeling with precise positioning and low holding energy.
Replace removable hull-mounted units through shared connectors and support bases to convert ship functions faster without altering the hull.
A base linking the mast foot and boom lets the sail assembly rotate together while reducing mast load and structural obstruction on board.
A base guide supports boom rotation apart from the mast, enabling integral sail movement while reducing mast strength and deck obstruction.
An upper steering station above and behind the lower console clears both operators’ forward view while preserving boat stability.
