Overview
Long-endurance L3Harris uncrewed surface vehicle for over-the-horizon survey operations, large payloads, and remotely supervised offshore data collection.
C-Worker 15 is a 15 m long-endurance uncrewed surface vehicle developed by L3Harris for offshore hydrographic and geophysical survey, towing, and subsea support. The official data sheet gives an endurance of 19 days at a 5 knot survey speed plus a 48-hour reserve, a maximum speed of 12 knots, and payload capacity up to 10 tonnes. Twin diesel engines, bow and stern thrusters, 40 kW of electrical generation, and an aluminium hull support long over-the-horizon missions with large or power-hungry sensor packages. The platform uses the L3Harris ASView control architecture, including waypoint and line following, station keeping, remote control, and optional COLREG-aware autonomous route planning and collision avoidance.
