ST Electronics' new Venus USV breaks cover
By Richard Scott
5/28/2009
Singapore Technologies (ST) Electronics has revealed a new modular unmanned surface vehicle (USV) programme under the company project name Venus.
Based on an off-the-shelf 9 m hull, the Venus concept envisages a common platform reconfigurable for multiple missions (using different payload modules) and offering a high level of mission autonomy. The programme is an indigenous effort believed to have grown out of Singapore's previous involvement in the US Navy's Spartan Scout Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) programme.
According to ST Electronics, Navatek has been selected to provide the composite hull platform for Venus.
