Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance

Our oceangoing solar USV provides a flexible foundation for maritime ISR operations, supporting long-endurance missions with configurable sensor payloads. Each system can be tailored to suit mission needs — from visual surveillance and radar tracking to RF spectrum monitoring and acoustic sensing. The modular design supports single-sensor deployments for focused missions or multi-sensor fusion for comprehensive maritime domain awareness. Hanno’s low cost per unit allows for extensive ISR networks to be flexibly deployed in ways never before possible.

  • Visual and infrared sensing for 24/7 surface awareness. Designed for missions that require real-time visual monitoring, identification, and tracking of vessels or surface activity.

    Potential configurations:

    • EO/IR gimbals: MWIR, LWIR, or dual-band stabilized turrets for day/night operation

    • Camera arrays: panoramic, low-light, or zoom-optimized cameras for wide-area or focused coverage

    • Edge processing modules: onboard AI for object detection, tracking, and classification

    • Data integration: fused overlays with AIS, radar, and GPS feeds

    Common use cases: maritime domain awareness, maritime border security, smuggling interdiction, infrastructure protection, convoy overwatch.

  • Detection and tracking of cooperative and non-cooperative targets provides reliable surface picture generation even in low visibility or adverse weather.

    Potential configurations

    • Marine radar units: compact X-band or S-band systems with selectable range and resolution

    • Processing modules: onboard radar tracking and target correlation with AIS and EO/IR inputs

    • Low-power radar options: FMCW or solid-state radars for stealth or close-range operations

    • MIMO or phased-array upgrades: for multi-target tracking and enhanced discrimination

    Common use cases: maritime domain awareness, route and choke-point surveillance, detection of low-profile or radar-reduced vessels, force protection, and distributed ISR support..

  • Low-altitude radar detection for counter-UAS and sea-skimming missile defense. Provides early warning and cueing against aerial threats, enhancing layered protection for maritime and coastal assets.

    Potential configurations

    • Compact 3D radar systems: X-band or Ku-band units optimized for small-object and low-RCS detection with high update rates

    • Elevation-capable mast or tethered sensor mounts: Increased sensor height to extend line-of-sight and improve detection of low-flight profiles

    • AI-based classification modules: Real-time discrimination between birds, drones, and potential threats using kinematic and return-signature analysis

    • High-rate track processing and cueing outputs: Low-latency interfaces to local C2, CIWS, and other layered defense systems for rapid engagement decisioning

    • Data fusion: Correlation with EO/IR, RF detection, and surface radar feeds to reduce false alarms and improve track confidence

    Common use cases: counter-UAS surveillance, low-altitude airspace monitoring, sea-skimming missile approach warning, and short-range cueing for layered maritime defense systems.oes here

  • Passive RF monitoring for spectrum awareness and threat detection. Enables wideband interception, analysis, and geolocation of communications and radar emitters across the maritime environment.

    Potential configurations

    • SDR-based receivers: coverage from VHF through Ku-band, tailored per mission requirement

    • Directional antennas: fixed, gimbaled, or array-based DF systems for emitter geolocation

    • Signal analytics: classification, demodulation, and interference identification packages

    • Networking support: multi-node triangulation and secure data sharing across distributed fleets

    Common use cases: spectrum intelligence, detection of illicit communications, EOB mapping, EW support operations.

  • Passive and active sonar sensing for subsurface detection and tracking. Extends situational awareness below the surface for anti-submarine warfare, harbor defense, and subsea infrastructure protection.

    Potential configurations

    • Hydrophone modules: single or multi-element arrays for passive acoustic sensing

    • Towed or hull-mounted arrays: selectable based on speed and endurance profile

    • Processing suites: real-time beamforming and spectral analysis for contact identification

    • Active sonar options: low-frequency or forward-looking sonars for near-field detection

    Common use cases: littoral ASW, port and harbor monitoring, subsea infrastructure protection, oceanographic intelligence.
