TSASV-7 "Morhad"

Tactical Strike ASV

A Combat-Capable ASV with Deterministic, Swarm-Capable Command and Control

The TSASV-7 "Morhad" is a purpose-built tactical ASV designed for contested maritime environments. DSRG designed the TSASV-7 as a complete, ground-up tactical platform. The TSASV-7 is not a commercial hull adapted after the fact, and it is not autonomy software in search of a vessel. The result is a vessel and a command-and-control system engineered together to operate as a cohesive system.

An Integrated Platform

Most ASV offerings provide one half of the problem: autonomy software without a proven vessel, or a commercial hull without meaningful autonomy. The TSASV-7 combines both in a tactical hull designed for the mission and a functioning, swarm-capable command-and-control module ("C2 Module"). DSRG operates as a systems integrator rather than a shipyard, producing the high-value C2 Module while vessels are built through an established manufacturing partner.

Command and Control

At the core of the TSASV-7 is DSRG's C2 Module, which provides deterministic, rule-based control and coordination. The system is COLREGs-capable for lawful autonomous navigation and supports coordinated operation of vessel groups. Control is predictable and auditable by design; the TSASV-7 does not rely on machine-learning models in the control path, which supports export authorization, operator trust, and certification.

Advanced Swarm and Coordination

The TSASV-7 supports advanced coordinated multi-vessel operations, allowing a single operator to direct a coordinated group of vessels rather than a single craft. Coordinated behaviors include formation transit, area patrol, area denial, cooperative search, cooperative interdiction, and station-keeping.

Specifications

Length: 7+ meters • Propulsion: 350 hp marine diesel engine with waterjet drive • Combat speed: ≥ 42 knots • Range ≥ 350 nm at 23 kts slow cruising speed • Sea State: Sea State 5 Capable • Payload: ≥ 280 kg • Sensors: Modular EO/IR and AIS • Autonomy: Deterministic, COLREGs-capable, advanced swarm-capable C2 Module

Specifications reflect the current tactical design and are subject to change.

Adaptable Mission Configurations

The TSASV-7 is a common platform designed to accept mission-specific configurations on a shared hull, propulsion system, and C2 Module architecture. Available configurations include a tactical strike variant, as well as configurations optimized for surveillance and reconnaissance, extended range, or payload capacity. And a proposed configurations includes a mothership to launch and recover strike and surveilance unmanned aerial vehicles. The adaptable approach allows a single proven platform to be used across mission sets rather than requiring a purpose-built vessel for each role.
