Greensea IQ Awarded $9 Million Contract by US Marine Corps for Continuing Acquisition of Bayonet 250 Robots
RICHMOND, VERMONT – August 15, 2025 – Greensea Systems, Inc., d.b.a. Greensea IQ, has been awarded a $9 Million firm-fixed-price task order on a larger Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the United States Marine Corps for the procurement of Bayonet 250 systems, Greensea’s Amphibious Unmanned Ground Vehicles (AUGVs). These vehicles will support the Littoral Explosive Ordnance Neutralization (LEON) Family of Systems, a critical capability for mine countermeasures and subsea threat mitigation in the littoral battlespace.
Delivery of systems will begin in September 2025. This most recent task order on the larger multi-year contract includes nine robots, the refurbishment of six robots acquired earlier in 2025, and spares to support the USMC’s growing program.
This sole-source award, made under the authority of 10 U.S. Code 4021, reinforces Greensea IQ’s position as a trusted provider of autonomous subsea technologies to the U.S. Department of Defense. Marine Corps Systems Command, Quantico, Virginia, serves as the contracting activity.
“Strategically, we are positioning Greensea to be the world leader in autonomous solutions for maritime Mine Countermeasure operations, Explosive Ordnance Disposal, and Unexploded Ordnance mitigation in the maritime environment.” said Ben Kinnaman, CEO and Founder of Greensea IQ. “This contract is significant for us. The US Marine Corps is adopting Bayonet to provide safety and scale in critical operations within the ocean and littoral environments. We are proud to support them and excited to be expanding our business.”
The AUGVs provided under this contract are part of Greensea IQ’s Bayonet product family and are engineered for operations in challenging surf zones, shallow water, and beach environments. These vehicles provide advanced mobility and autonomy for tasks such as mine detection, obstacle reconnaissance, and explosive ordnance disposal, while enhancing operator safety through remote and over-the-horizon control enabled by Greensea’s open-architecture autonomy platform.
