Ocius Technology
Solar, wind, and wave-powered autonomous surface vessels for persistent naval surveillance
Ocius Technology, headquartered in Sydney, Australia, develops the Bluebottle unmanned surface vessel (USV) powered by solar, wind, and wave energy using a patented rudder-flipper propulsion system. Originally founded as Solar Sailor in 1999 and rebranded Ocius in 2014, the company delivers long-endurance maritime autonomous systems for the Royal Australian Navy. The Bruce-class Bluebottle measures 5.6 meters, displaces 650 kg, and achieves speeds up to 5.6 knots.
In March 2026 the Australian Government awarded a $176 million contract for 40 new Bluebottle USVs, expanding the RAN fleet to 55 vessels deployed primarily for ISR and anti-submarine warfare across Australia's vast maritime domain.
