A second medium-sized unmanned surface vessel prototype has delivered to the Navy, builder Leidos announced this week.
Sea Hawk, sister ship to the Navy’s Sea Hunter, was built on the Gulf Coast and is now bound to join the Navy’s Surface Development Squadron One in California, the company said in a Wednesday press release.
In 2017, the Office of Naval research awarded Leidos a $35.5 million contract to build the 145-ton trimaran as a follow-up to the original L3-built Sea Hunter that was developed by DARPA as a high-endurance platform to track submarines.
