Mass Autonomous Maritime Defence

Autonomous maritime mass, at swarm scale.

NEREID Defence Systems designs and builds sovereign European autonomous surface vessels — a mothership command node coordinating attritable drone swarms, built on advanced drone autonomy and fire-safe power.

The Platforms

Two platforms, one autonomous team

ALPHA and BRAVO are designed from inception to operate together — a single mothership coordinating an attritable drone swarm in distributed formation. Customers engage on complete teams or individual platforms.

Mothership USV

ALPHA

The command node of the swarm.

A long-endurance autonomous surface vessel acting as command-and-control node, coordinating up to 32 BRAVO drones in mission-specific formations with onboard sensor fusion and edge autonomy.

  • Distributed command of up to 32 drones
  • Long-endurance surface platform
  • Modular payload for sensors, comms and edge AI
  • Persistent ISR and data-fusion node
Attritable Swarm Drone

BRAVO

Mass-produced, mission-optimised.

A mass-producible attritable surface drone, single-mission optimised through a modular payload bay — configurable across surveillance, mine-countermeasures, electronic warfare and force-protection roles.

  • Modular mission payload bay
  • Designed for volume production
  • Operational tolerance of platform loss
  • Shared cell technology and supply chain
Capability

One operator, team-scale effect

The team architecture transforms the operator-to-capability ratio: a single operator supervises a coordinated formation, mission resilience scales with team size, and the loss of individual platforms does not degrade the mission.

01 · ISR

Persistent surveillance

Distributed sensor coverage across wide operational areas, fused at the mothership for a single coherent picture.

02 · MCM

Mine countermeasures

A swarm sweeps in days what a single manned platform clears in weeks, at scale and with platform redundancy.

03 · EW

Electronic warfare

Coordinated decoy and jamming formations that overwhelm adversary sensor processing while protecting friendly forces.

04 · CUI

Infrastructure protection

Distributed patrol of cables, pipelines and harbour approaches, with anomalies reported to the surface command.

05 · FORCE PROTECTION

Harbour & base defence

Layered perimeter defence around ports and naval bases through persistent sentinel and intercept formations.

06 · RELAY

Comms extension

Drones positioned to extend command reach over the horizon and across signal-denied environments.

The Technology Edge

Advanced drone autonomy, sovereign build

NEREID's differentiation is its autonomy and command-and-control stack, paired with fire-safe power — engineered for attritable platforms and built within a European sovereign supply chain.

AUTONOMY

Distributed swarm control

Behaviour-based mission execution, swarm coordination, deconfliction and resilient command architecture across the formation.

SENSOR FUSION

Single coherent picture

Distributed sensor outputs from across the formation fused at the mothership into one real-time operational picture.

POWER

Fire-safe energy storage

Supercapacitor power architecture with no thermal-runaway pathway — the decisive safety property for attritable platforms during recovery.

SOVEREIGN

European production

Greek incorporation and assembly with a European supply chain — fully European platforms, no ITAR-controlled components.

COMMON

Shared architecture

ALPHA and BRAVO share cells, autonomy software, encrypted mesh radio and payload interfaces across one production line.

COMPLIANCE

Defence-grade assurance

Built to recognised aerospace and NATO quality and security standards, with full EU export-control compliance.
