    Harbor Wing Technologies is developing a unmaned sailing vessel that makes use of a multihull form and a wingsail. The prototype vessel looks like a Stiletto 30 hull to me.

    INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES; FUNDAMENTAL MISSIONS

    The Harbor Wing Autonomous Unmanned Surface Vehicle (AUSV) is unique. Defined by three innovative components: the WingSailTM, the Hydrofoils, and the Guidance System, it will perform a range of critical missions. The design and integration of these components is the product of world class expertise and vision from Harbor Wing's team. By providing situational awareness to operational commanders, Harbor Wing's high-tech AUSV will meet fundamental requirements of military, government, and commercial customers.

    Amazing, and very cool. But do you think it will fit in the pond at Central Park.:eek: ROVs represent such a leap into the future of transportation, the military and who knows what. This one has a lot of smarts..... and grace.
