Maritime Applied Physics Corporation

Products: usv. Risk band: Elevated   RobotRisk index 16.4/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 2 of 2 among Marine robotics companies with incidents (92 tracked).

Analyst brief

The record holds a single malfunction entry: an unmanned surface vessel struck and capsized a support boat during a Navy experiment, severity 3. One incident against a marine-robotics category built on defense and research test programs is not a pattern; it is an isolated test-environment event. Maritime Applied Physics Corporation's index of 16.4 ranks 2 of 2 companies in Marine robotics with incident history. The entry is press-reported, tied to a discrete test mishap rather than a regulatory finding or recall.
