Hundreds build drones. Nobody builds the boat in between: designed from day one to carry a whole ecosystem of capabilities, like drones, and then to become one itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cross Water\u2019s answer is the XW Modular, a family of aluminum rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) in different sizes, each with structural rails designed into its deck from day one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consoles, seats, sensors and other mission equipment lock onto the rails in minutes, with no tools, so the same hull changes missions instead of being replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The XW Modular 750 (7.5m RIB) is in its second year of service with navy divers and special operations forces in a NATO country the company does not name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In September 2026, the navy took it to Portugal for REPMUS 2026 (Robotic Experimentation and Prototyping with Maritime Unmanned Systems).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This NATO-backed exercise focuses on uncrewed maritime systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among other use cases, Dutch company Lobster Robotics launched and operated its new-generation seabed drone from the boat\u2019s deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the strength of these real operations and missions, Cross Water rates the 750 at Technology Readiness Level 9, the highest level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou have no idea how often we think back to this boat,\u201d said Daan de Groot, chief technology officer and co-founder of Lobster Robotics, which first worked from the boat in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt has been the best we have used, by a long shot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next layer is software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vessel Manager, developed in-house, will serve as the boat\u2019s operating system, recognizing which modules are mounted and where they are positioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will run the entire ecosystem on deck as one integrated system, including remote control and autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remote operation comes first, in 2027, followed by autonomous, optionally crewed operation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div  id=\"jtg-47690\" class=\"modula modula-gallery modula-columns\" data-config=\"{&quot;tabletHeight&quot;:800,&quot;mobileHeight&quot;:800,&quot;desktopHeight&quot;:800,&quot;enableTwitter&quot;:false,&quot;enableWhatsapp&quot;:false,&quot;enableFacebook&quot;:false,&quot;enablePinterest&quot;:false,&quot;enableLinkedin&quot;:false,&quot;enableEmail&quot;:false,&quot;randomFactor&quot;:0.5,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:12,&quot;gutter&quot;:10,&quot;mobileGutter&quot;:10,&quot;tabletGutter&quot;:10,&quot;desktopGutter&quot;:10,&quot;enableResponsive&quot;:true,&quot;tabletColumns&quot;:2,&quot;mobileColumns&quot;:1,&quot;lazyLoad&quot;:0,&quot;lightboxOpts&quot;:{&quot;animated&quot;:true,&quot;Thumbs&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;modern&quot;,&quot;showOnStart&quot;:false,&quot;position&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;},&quot;Toolbar&quot;:{&quot;display&quot;:{&quot;right&quot;:[&quot;fullscreen&quot;,&quot;slideshow&quot;,&quot;close&quot;],&quot;left&quot;:[&quot;infobar&quot;]},&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;Carousel&quot;:{&quot;Panzoom&quot;:{&quot;touch&quot;:true},&quot;infinite&quot;:false,&quot;transition&quot;:&quot;fade&quot;},&quot;keyboard&quot;:{&quot;Escape&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;Delete&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;Backspace&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;PageUp&quot;:&quot;next&quot;,&quot;PageDown&quot;:&quot;prev&quot;,&quot;ArrowUp&quot;:&quot;prev&quot;,&quot;ArrowDown&quot;:&quot;next&quot;,&quot;ArrowRight&quot;:&quot;next&quot;,&quot;ArrowLeft&quot;:&quot;prev&quot;},&quot;wheel&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;touch&quot;:true,&quot;backdropClick&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;l10n&quot;:{&quot;CLOSE&quot;:&quot;Close&quot;,&quot;NEXT&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,&quot;PREV&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,&quot;Error&quot;:&quot;The requested content cannot be loaded.
