Steller Systems has signed a strategic agreement with SeeByte to be its Autonomy partner for one of Steller Systems’ major projects to develop a highly innovative unmanned vessel.
SeeByte provides clients in the
maritime sector with the most advanced software solutions to enhance the
capabilities of their underwater sensors, vehicles and systems.
Speaking at DSEI, Steller
Systems’ Managing Director Robert Skarda said:
“The signing of this MOU between Steller Systems and SeeByte reflects a major milestone in the development of Steller Systems’ unmanned vehicle project, as well as the growing importance of unmanned vessels to Naval Capability, Steller Systems and the industry as a whole. We are excited about the possibilities for closer collaboration on our projects”.
2019 has seen an increase in unmanned vehicle work for the company, and this year Steller Systems has been at the forefront of their design as well as helping its clients understand the integration of these on to manned vessels, submarines and other systems. In early 2019 the company secured its first contract with the Defence & Security Accelerator, run by the Defence Science & Technology Laboratory (Dstl) in order to conduct tank testing of a highly innovative unmanned vessel concept. Steller Systems’ team also has extensive experience of designing vessels for USVs, such as SPARTAN, our concept design for a light Frigate.
Visitors to DSEI can meet Steller Systems’ Unmanned experts at stand N6-401 and SeeByte’s Autonomy experts at stand S9-151.
SeeByte’s CEO, Dr Robert Black, and Steller Systems’ MD, Robert Skarda, signing the MOU.
Steller Systems and Thales have launched their design for TX Ship, a ground-breaking vessel that will help navies transition to unmanned operations. The design, which was officially unveiled at the Maritime Capability Conference at DSEI 2019 on Monday, is designed to operate unmanned, but with the intention of operating as a lean-manned vessel with 15 crew in the first instance. Successful and continued operation of TX Ship will give forward thinking navies a clear route to gain confidence in, and to move towards, fully unmanned autonomous naval operations in a cost-effective manner.
TX Ship is a fully sensorised multi-role trimaran, capable of operating at reach, alone or as part of a task group. The ship possesses an unusual high capacity, fully-automated mission bay capable of hosting and deploying a large number, and multiple types, of manned or unmanned mission packages. The stern access and moon pool features enable flexible and covert deployment of a wide range of current and future unmanned aerial, surface and subsurface vessels. At a length of 70m and 750 tonne displacement, TX Ship has a top speed of 30 knots, a design cruise speed of 18 knots, a range of 6000nm and an endurance of 20 days (manned) or 40 days (unmanned).
The vessel has been designed to
be a multi-role platform, including Mine Countermeasures (MCM), Intelligence,
Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR), strategic Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW)
and patrol.
Visitors to DSEI can meet the design team and find out more at Steller Systems’ stand (N6-401) and Thales’ stand (S6-100). DSEI, the world’s largest defence and security trade show, takes place at ExCeL London from now until 13th September 2019.

On display will be several of Steller Systems’ innovative naval surface and subsurface concepts including our light frigate design, Project Spartan. Spartan is a 117m, 2,964 tonne surface combatant that is designed for the export market to be configurable, modular, survivable and affordable.
The team at Steller Systems loves to develop innovative yet realistic concept designs to solve existing and future problems – whether it’s an innovative design for a dedicated humanitarian operations vessel, a game-changing unmanned underwater vessel or a unique superyacht designed ‘backwards’ to provide optimal comfort and style for its owners. Steller Systems draws on its extensive experience of providing naval architecture and systems engineering support to in-service vessels to ensure that its concept designs are realistic, pragmatic and solve many of the problems encountered in current vessel designs. For more information, please see our Concept Designs page.
Steller Systems would be pleased to discuss these designs in person at DSEI; please visit us at stand N6-401 or contact enquiries@stellersystems.co.uk to arrange a meeting.
Due to increasing demand for our services, we
currently have vacancies for naval architects, systems engineers, marine
engineers and composite structures engineers to join our teams working in the
surface ship, submarine and unmanned vehicle domains. The roles will be
based either in our Grade II listed offices located in the heart of the
