Maritime Applied Physics Corporation
Robot types: USV. Risk band: Elevated RobotRisk index 16.2/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 2 of 2 among Marine robotics companies with incidents (249 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. The entry is press-reported, tied to a discrete test mishap rather than a regulatory finding or recall.
