The Maritime Revolution: How Autonomous Vessels Are Reshaping Naval Strategy
06/12/2025

By Robbin Laird

The era of autonomous maritime operations has quietly arrived, moving beyond experimental trials to become operational reality.

A recent conversation with Robert Dane, CEO of OCIUS, underscores how autonomous vessels are fundamentally changing naval operations—and why traditional naval thinking must evolve to harness their potential.

OCIUS’s journey from startup to operational service provider illustrates the broader transformation occurring in maritime defense. The company currently operates 12 autonomous vessels continuously from Darwin, with deployments averaging 60 days and reaching as long as 107 days.

This isn’t experimental anymore — it’s sustained operational capability.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
