**New 17-meter British USV Developed in Under 6 Months**

The British company **ZeroUSV** has officially unveiled its new unmanned surface vessel, the **Oceanus17**. Next week, the USV will be shipped to Portugal to participate in NATO exercises on robotic maritime operations, **REPMUS**.

The USV is built from aluminum at the Manor Marine shipyard in Portland and was launched just six months after the previous model, the Oceanus12. The Oceanus17 is far from a small kamikaze boat.

**Specifications:**
- **Length:** 17 meters
- **Payload Capacity:** 4 tons
- **Autonomy:** Over 50 days
- **Range:** 5,000 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 6 knots
- **Maximum Speed:** 15 knots
The USV is equipped with a hybrid diesel-electric power plant and is capable of operating autonomously.

 The most dangerous aspect of this device is its compartment, which is compatible with a standard **6-meter ISO container** (this is a standardized cargo container, its dimensions and other parameters are defined in international standards). Thanks to this, such containers can be found almost everywhere, meaning it can be secretly delivered to a ship/truck to any location, **provided** that the enemy's logistical routes are not controlled. Inside the container, it can carry either civilian cargo or [missiles/drones/repeaters/radars](https://t.me/dva_majors/97456) or other military systems for integration onto the British USV. The dimensions of the Oceanus17 allow for the deployment of longer-range drones and weapon systems that the British want to test through their proxies in the Black Sea.
