Greensea IQ Launches Combat Swimmers Command and Control Interface

Greensea IQ, a leader in advanced subsea robotics and autonomy, announced the first production release of Bayonet Underwater Controller, a multi-platform command and control interface for divers operating robots from submerged and constrained environments.

The Bayonet Underwater Controller is based on the standard Greensea user interface but is provided in an underwater housing with a human-machine interface designed to suit the ergonomics and operating constraints of military divers. Leveraging Greensea’s open architecture framework, the controller is designed to enable the command and control of any unmanned system from a submerged position. Greensea has delivered several systems already to the U.S. Navy and Foreign Partners for operating the Mission Specialist Defender ROV manufactured by VideoRay, an AeroVironment company. Greensea has also delivered the system for operating the Bayonet Autonomous Underwater Ground Vehicle (AUGV) platform.

Unlike traditional topside-only solutions, the new control system is engineered for fully submerged operations in harsh maritime environments, offering up to six hours of runtime and depth ratings to 40 meters. Its design enables flexible deployment for defense and commercial users operating in deep contested environments. The controller features 30 programmable push buttons and two joysticks, providing customization to match operator preferences and mission requirements. The
