Partnership to advance maritime unmanned systems in the Middle East
Al Seer Marine announced a strategic agreement with L3Harris Technologies to collaborate on next-generation maritime unmanned systems for defence, security, and government applications across the UAE and GCC region.
The agreement brings together Al Seer Marine’s shipbuilding, systems integration and lifecycle support capabilities with L3Harris’ globally recognised expertise in autonomous systems, mission control and maritime software, creating a powerful platform to deliver end-to-end unmanned surface vessel (USV) solutions.
Under the agreement, Al Seer Marine will be leading platform design, construction, integration and through-life support, while L3Harris will provide advanced autonomy, control systems and network integration.
Collaboration
This collaboration directly supports the region’s accelerating demand for maritime autonomy, enabling scalable, interoperable and mission-ready unmanned fleets aligned with evolving defence and security requirements.
“This strategic partnership with L3Harris represents a significant milestone in Al Seer Marine’s journey to shape the future of maritime autonomy,” stated Guy Neivens, Chief Executive Officer, Al Seer Marine.
The agreement is focused on supporting maritime unmanned surface vessel programmes, encompassing platform development, autonomous navigation and mission systems, command-and-control integration, training and long-term operational support.
The partnership is designed to enable multi-vessel operations, common control architectures, and scalable deployment models, critical enablers for modern naval and coastguard operations.
