Greensea IQ Secures $5.36M Contract for Bayonet 250 Surf Zone Crawlers to Support U.S. Marine Corps
Richmond, Vermont, February 4, 2025 – Greensea IQ, a leader in subsea robotics and defense solutions, was awarded a $5.36 million contract through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and Darley of Itasca, IL for the delivery of customized Bayonet 250 Amphibious Underwater Ground Vehicle (AUGV) for the U.S. Marine Corps’ Littoral Explosive Ordnance Neutralization (LEON) project.
The Bayonet 250, part of Greensea IQ’s Bayonet series of amphibious underwater ground vehicles, exceeds the stringent mission criteria of the LEON project, which focuses on advanced explosive ordnance disposal capabilities in littoral environments. Designed for robust operations in both shallow water and surf zones, the Bayonet 250 provides autonomous capabilities for mine and explosive threat neutralization, supporting the Marine Corps’ modernization efforts for safer and more effective EOD operations.
The Littoral Explosive Ordnance Neutralization project is a critical component of the Marine Corps’ robotic revolution strategy for operating in global littorals, enhancing safety for personnel while increasing operational efficiency.
“This award reinforces Greensea IQ’s commitment to supporting the U.S. Marine Corps with cutting-edge robotic solutions for complex and hazardous environments,” said Paco Santana, VP of Business Development, Defense of Greensea IQ. “These Bayonet 250’s will provide a versatile, autonomous platform for explosive ordnance disposal in challenging littoral zones.”
The contract was awarded under the Defense Logistics Agency’s procurement framework and facilitated by Darley, a trusted supplier for defense solutions. Greensea IQ continues to expand its portfolio of autonomous technologies designed to support defense, maritime, and commercial applications.
