Ukraine's AQUASPIRIT A700HD USV demonstrated ferrying a ground relay robot

Published 1 July 2026

Ukrainian company AQUASPIRIT has developed the A700HD uncrewed surface vessel—7 m long, 2.5 m beam, 1.7-tonne payload capacity—available in crewed and fully autonomous variants. At the DIH Naval Forge conference the hull was used to transport a ground relay robot, creating a deployable forward communications node for drone operations in areas where conventional relay infrastructure is absent or denied. Analysts describe the vessel-plus-UGV pairing as a means of pushing drone control links deeper into contested or inaccessible areas.
