Maritime Drone System Feasibility Study
Context
Our customer required a feasibility study that looked at understanding whether small drone platforms (UAS) could replace selected missions traditionally undertaken by crewed air systems, while still maintaining operational effectiveness and safety at sea.
AmfiskA Role
AmfiskA work as part of a multi‑disciplinary team as the systems experts to undertake the operational analysis and develop the systems architecture to assess mission needs against emerging uncrewed technologies.
What We Did
Conducted structured operational analysis across representative maritime operational scenarios
Developed a system‑level architectural view of the existing crewed air system’s use cases
Assessed current and near‑term small drone capabilities against operational requirements
Performed a gap analysis to identify capability shortfalls, risks, and opportunities
Produced a benefits‑led roadmap to inform future investment and concept development
Outcome
The client gained a clear, evidence‑based view of where small drone platforms could deliver value, where limitations remained, and how capability could evolve over time through structured investment.
