Quick decision context for procurement relevance and maturity.
The Dutch Ministry of Defence (Ministerie van Defensie) is conducting a market consultation to identify available off-the-shelf uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) in open sea and littoral environments, supporting amphibious and offshore patrol missions deployable from larger Royal Netherlands Navy ships. These USVs must operate in the North Atlantic and North Sea, achieve speeds of at least 10 knots, endure over seven days, and carry sensors for detecting contacts across seabed, subsurface, surface, air, and land domains. This initiative aligns with the Netherlands' broader strategy to enhance its fleet of maritime uncrewed systems and bolster strategic autonomy through industry-enhancing procurement.
