Ocean News, Views, & Insights Since 1981
Latest Issue: July 2026
The uncrewed marine vehicle sector has crossed a threshold. What was once a R&D tech space defined by demonstration and proof-of-concept exercises is now characterized by serial production and fleet-level integration across naval defense, offshore energy, marine survey, and scientific exploration.
ON&T’s 2026-2027 Uncrewed Vehicle Buyers’ Guide is designed to help ocean professionals navigate this rapidly expanding reality. With listings up more than 20% on the previous edition, the guide maps the full spectrum of commercially available USVs, AUVs, ROVs, towed systems, and the technologies that underpin them.
Whether you are evaluating uncrewed platforms for the first time or tracking the latest developments in a market you know well, this guide acts as your starting point.
Happy Reading!
