Ocius Technology has inaugurated a new engineering and production facility in Sydney dedicated to Bluebottle Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USVs). The site includes a 24/7 Global Operations Centre, enhancing Ocius' capability to support missions globally. This expansion aligns with the Australian Government's $176 million investment to produce 40 additional Bluebottles, addressing rising demand for autonomous maritime surveillance systems.
The facility's opening is significant for Ocius as it marks a pivotal step in scaling up production and enhancing operational capabilities. The new Global Operations Centre will facilitate continuous mission monitoring and coordination for both defence and civilian applications, while dedicated R&D areas will further advance the Bluebottle platform's technology.
Looking ahead, Ocius is positioned to meet increasing international orders and expand its workforce, which has grown to over 130 staff. The facility's sustainable energy sources and advanced capabilities will support the integration of Bluebottles into broader surveillance networks, reinforcing Australia's maritime technology landscape. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
