Overview

Problem Brigade Support Battalions rely on warfighters to provide transport, security, and logistics support, creating operational strain across MOS roles. Solution AUV-1 delivers remote-controlled and autonomous capabilities to transport casualties to extraction points, carry supplies to forward operations, and establish perimeter defense. Field Validation Pre-field. We have completed the design and build phases of our prototype. Technology Maturity (TRL) We are currently at TRL 5. Strategic Advantage AUV-1 GVW: 2,500 lbs Power: 20 kWh Payload: 1,000 lb payload Range: 8 hours / 200 miles. IP: integrates 80% off-the-shelf, fully CAN-enabled components into a cloud-connected, agile, multipurpose, price point: 250k Go-to-Market Access Our primary commercial focus has been agriculture. Dual-Use Potential AUV-1 supports med evac, perimeter defense, supply transport. Team Carl D. Hays III – CEO/CPO: 15 years in precision navigation, IoT systems, and product R&D; doctoral candidate Kevin Bentley – Principal Engineer: Navigation and autonomy; Eric Del Real – Principal Electrical Engineer: MS in system controls; Cody Bateman – Principal Mechanical Engineer: System design and COTS integration expert Competitive Landscape Current AUVs are often overly specialized, underpowered, or oversized. AUV-1 fills a critical gap in the Light Duty AUV space with balance, flexibility, and affordability. Primary User 68W, 68J, 92Y, 88N User-Critical Problem Warfighters are forced to split focus between mission-critical roles and logistics. AUV-1 restores focus to core MOS functions—saving lives, resupplying units, and protecting perimeters—enhancing force multiplication with fewer assets.
