UBW Naval - U-Boat Worx

UBW Naval Systems

Securing the deep has never been more urgent

As maritime conflicts intensify and global offshore industries continue to expand, the need for advanced, reliable, and agile subsea capabilities has never been greater. In response, U-Boat Worx should strategically venture into the defense sector, applying over 20 years of engineering excellence to support critical underwater missions.

With proven expertise in deep-sea submersibles, pressure-tolerant systems, and manned and unmanned underwater platforms, we are uniquely positioned to deliver next-generation solutions for surveillance, infrastructure protection, and strategic mobility in complex maritime environments.

Submarine cables carry 95% of global internet traffic

Subsea cables are the invisible backbone of the global economy—carrying international data, communications, and financial transactions.
But as geopolitical tensions rise and offshore activity increases, these critical infrastructures face growing threats from sabotage, espionage, accidental damage, and natural disasters.

Offshore Energy Under-Threat

As global conflicts escalate and geopolitical tensions intensify, offshore energy assets and infrastructure—including oil rigs, gas platforms, and subsea installations—are becoming increasingly vulnerable targets. These critical resources lie exposed in international waters, where traditional defense measures are limited.

From sabotage and cyberattacks to surveillance and strategic disruption, the threat landscape is rapidly evolving. Ensuring the security and resilience of offshore operations is now a strategic imperative for both governments and industry leaders.

Supersub (Search and Rescue)

The Super Sub is a powerful asset for underwater search and rescue, damage assessment, and UXO identification. It allows direct decision-making with operators inside a safe 1-atmosphere cabin, offering clear, on-site observation. Its untethered design enables extended missions with minimal support requirements. The sub delivers precise maneuverability, a stable imaging platform, and high payload capacity. With proven modular systems, the Super Sub ensures reliability in even the most critical situations.

SDV (Seal Delivery Vehicle)

The SDV / SEAL Delivery Vehicle combines manned and unmanned operations to enhance MARSOF capabilities during covert missions. Its modular design allows for greater payload capacity and mission flexibility. Unmanned SDVs can operate in tandem with manned units, following collaboratively or operating autonomously. Identical layouts ensure interchangeability—if the primary SDV is compromised, another can be used for extraction. This versatile platform supports both direct insertion and autonomous mission execution with maximum efficiency.

UHV (Unmanned Hybrid Vehicle)

The Unmanned Hybrid Vehicle (UHV) bridges a critical gap in underwater defense by offering long-range patrolling, rapid threat response, and flexible intervention capabilities. Operating autonomously on the surface and subsea, it combines combustion-driven speed for deterrence with electric propulsion for stealth intervention. While SRI functions are fully autonomous, any subsea engagement is remotely controlled via a deployable buoy to ensure human oversight. The platform is modular, capable of carrying tools like robotic arms, harpoons, or torpedoes to counter diverse subsea threats. Designed for endurance, deep operation, and easy deployment, the UHV is a force multiplier in modern naval operations.

UUV (Unmanned Underwater Vehicle)

The Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) is designed for autonomous, semi-autonomous, or remote-controlled operations, delivering advanced capabilities in surveillance, patrolling, and threat intervention. It excels in detection, classification, and tracking tasks, operating collaboratively to protect strategic areas such as ports, harbors, and restricted waterways. The UUV supports Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Counter-UUV missions, including deployment of net systems and active countermeasures. With high-speed maneuverability and short response times, it ensures rapid threat engagement. Its long-duration endurance, ease of deployment, and modular design make it a highly adaptable underwater defense platform.

XLUUV (Extra Large UUV)

The XLUUV is a subsurface platform capable of autonomous, semi-autonomous, or remotely controlled missions, designed for patrolling, intervention, and strategic deterrence. It excels in Search, Reconnaissance, and Intelligence (SRI) tasks while operating in collaborative mode with other assets. With long-range endurance and high payload capacity, it supports a wide range of missions, including ASW, Counter-UUV operations, and the deployment of smaller unmanned systems. Its modular, flexible design allows for rapid launch and recovery and easy mission reconfiguration. Compact enough to fit in a 40ft container, it offers unmatched logistical versatility and global deployability.

DLS (Diver Lock out Sub)

The Diver Lockout Submersible (DLS) operates subsurface and features a variable nozzle system enabling safe and efficient diver lockout for underwater missions. It supports Search, Reconnaissance, and Intelligence (SRI) operations with a focus on stealth and flexibility. Ideal for discretionary missions, the DLS allows for silent and covert diver deployment in contested or sensitive environments. Its adaptable design supports multiple launch and recovery modes, enhancing operational reach from various platforms. Compact and modular, the DLS fits within a standard 40ft container for streamlined transport and rapid deployment.

DPV (Diver Propulsion Vehicle)

The Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) operates both on the surface and underwater, designed as a heavy-duty unit. It can carry up to three operators comfortably. The DPV features easy trimming for smooth, silent operation. It offers long range and extended operational duration. This makes it ideal for covert missions.
