Richmond, Vermont – Jul 8, 2026 – Greensea Systems, Inc., (Greensea IQ), has received a $3.7 million dollar task order from the United States Marine Corps for the procurement of four additional Bayonet 250 Autonomous Underwater Ground Vehicles (AUGVs) to further support the Littoral Explosive Ordnance Neutralization (LEON) Family of Systems, which is a critical capability for mine countermeasures and subsea threat mitigation in the littoral battlespace.
This task order for the delivery of additional systems is issued under the existing multi-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. This latest award continues the Marine Corps’ investment in Greensea’s Bayonet Autonomous Ground Vehicles, reinforcing the robots’ value as a reliable and scalable asset in the fight against the proliferation of subsea threats. The US Marine Corps is the earliest adopter of Bayonet AUGVs for mine warfare but Greensea reports engagement with multiple other agencies and allies as well.
The Bayonet 250 is the adaptable workhorse of the AUGV lineup. Bayonet AUGVs are the only commercially-ready unmanned amphibious robot that can navigate from deep ocean through the surf zone and onto land, a unique capability that allows operation across seabed, littoral, and coastal environments no other robot can reach. Powered by Greensea IQ Core open-architecture autonomy software with Bayonet Workspace, the Bayonet 250 AUGV is purpose-built for high-risk unmanned subsea reacquisition and threat neutralization missions.
Bayonet AUGVs are part of the larger Greensea IQ Bayonet portfolio, a comprehensive technology stack of remote navigation packages, mission execution software, and training simulators. This suite delivers flexible capability across the most challenging environments, from the surf zone through deep sea terrain, enabling more efficient and safer missions for the naval warfighter.
For 20 years, Greensea IQ has been developing autonomous maritime technology for complex and dangerous environments. Today, its proven autonomy, navigation, and software support commercial and defense operators around the world.
