Described by developers AAI, MRVI and Sea Robotics as a fourth-generation unmanned surface vessel (USV) that can be remotely operated and function in
fully autonomous missions, the Interceptor was displayed in public for the first time at IDEX 2007 in Abu Dhabi.
The USV is designed to operate in concert with UAVs to provide an unmanned defence and maritime security surveillance solution.
The Interceptor is 21.6 ft long with an 8 ft beam, a top speed of 55 mph, 24-hour endurance and a range of up to 1,000 nautical miles.
