$RCAT 🤔From a Senior Integration Engineer, USV Payloads job posting:
"Blue Ops delivers a modular, scalable family of USV weapon systems, the Variant 5, Variant 7, and Variant 11, designed to meet the evolving operational needs of the U.S. Government and allied partners."
Barry Hinckley has discussed the V5 and V11. I think the V5 is being tested in Ukraine. I haven't seen anything on the V11 yet.
"Blue Ops has several other models, including Variant 5, a 5-metre long USV with both kinetic and ISR capabilities, and Variant 11, an 11-metre long USV, which Barry described as essentially “a mini-aircraft carrier.” It is capable of launching 22 UAVs and the company is exploring the possibility of carrying out resupply missions in the future."
