NEWT21 Showcases Reliable Autonomous Navigation on Its USV with UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía’s Support

● NEWT21 demonstrates the successful execution of fully autonomous maritime missions on its USV FOG platform, following close cooperation with UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía. Madrid, 4 Nov, 2025. – NEWT21, the Latvian manufacturer specializing in unmanned surface vessels (USVs), has successfully demonstrated advanced autonomous navigation on its FOG USV. This achievement follows the smooth integration of UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía’s autopilot system, carried out through close collaboration between both teams. The demonstration highlights NEWT21’s ability to deliver a reliable and capable USV platform, now enhanced with advanced autonomous functions that improve safety and mission effectiveness, even in harsh environments. The control system enables the FOG USV to perform complex tasks independently, including mothership approach protection to prevent collisions during close maneuvers, dynamic relative routes that automatically adjust to the position of the vessel hosting the Command and Control Station, and health monitoring with fault tolerance to ensure mission continuity in the event of sensor failures. The integration and fine-tuning of the FOG USV were carried out smoothly and efficiently, with no incidents, and supported by satcom communications. During testing, the vessel successfully executed navigation plans with full autonomy, marking an important milestone for NEWT21. Equipped with a modern gimbal, the FOG is now ready to perform demanding surveillance missions at sea, even under challenging conditions. The excellent cooperation between NEWT21 and UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía was essential to completing the process in record time. This joint effort has not only enabled the autonomous operation of the FOG USV but also paved the way for an upcoming demonstration with the Latvian Navy and participation at the NATO exercise. With this achievement, NEWT21 reinforces the reliability and autonomy of its FOG USV in critical unmanned operations, while UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía is proud to contribute as a trusted technology partner. Together, both companies reaffirm their commitment to innovation and strategic autonomy in defense and security. This milestone sets the stage for future joint integrations across additional platforms.
