FLANQ USVs are smart USVs – intelligent, scalable, and highly customisable. Designed for the mission – whatever the mission – they can carry diverse senor and effector payloads and excel in both solo and coordinated, wolf pack deployments.
FLANQ-powered autonomous and remotely controlled underwater vehicles play a critical role in modern defence, enhancing capabilities across surveillance, reconnaissance, and combat missions – from naval base protection to underwater warfare training.
Transform your situational awareness above and below the water. Optimised for size, weight and power and integrated using FLANQ’s Q-KONTROL backbone, our vehicle-agnostic technologies let you sense threats, decide the outcome and enable the response.
In today’s dynamic maritime environment, rapid deployment and adaptable support infrastructure are essential for effective uncrewed vessel operations. FLANQ’s Q-KONTAIN provides a mobile and versatile solution, offering mission-specific ISO containers configured for various operational needs. These self-contained modules enable swift deployment, secure deck storage, on-site servicing, and real-time monitoring of both surface and underwater vessels, where and when you need it.
Q-KONTAIN’s standard ISO container format allows for easy transportation by air, road or rail, enabling rapid deployment to any operating location worldwide. Q-KONTAIN can be configured to accommodate multiple FLANQ USVs, AUVs, ROVs and sensor payloads, providing secure storage and well-appointed maintenance facilities onboard. It can also be configured as a mobile workshop, with tools and equipment needed for field repairs and maintenance – including 3D printing of frontline spares – or as a dedicated control room for real-time monitoring and mission management.
When configured as a control room, Q-KONTAIN provides a dedicated, climate-controlled, and secure mission control space for real-time monitoring and management of Maritime Autonomous System (MAS) operations. This setup ensures operators can maintain constant oversight of missions, monitor incoming sensor data, and issue precise commands, enabling seamless control and coordination. The secure and optimised environment significantly enhances situational awareness, decision-making, and overall operational effectiveness, making it a vital asset for complex maritime missions.
