Overview
L3Harris Technologies is an American defense contractor based in Melbourne, Florida, developing autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) and unmanned surface vessels. Its proprietary ASView control system powers the C-Worker ASV family for military and commercial maritime operations, and L3Harris partnered with Seasats to test autonomous surface vessel capabilities.

Current platform
ASView / C-Worker
L3Harris (NYSE: LHX), a legacy US defense prime, makes the ASView uncrewed-surface-vessel autonomy control system and the C-Worker class of autonomous surface vehicles, recorded in the maritime form factor with the entity scoped to the ASView system and C-Worker vessels rather than the broader L3Harris corporation, the same discipline applied to Kongsberg's HUGIN and Exail's DriX of recording the vehicle rather than the parent conglomerate. ASView has been in development since 2008 and deployed on more than 150 vessels, the C-Worker 4 and C-Worker 5 serve survey, defense, and offshore roles, and a 2023 teaming with BigBear.ai added AI capabilities. An entity-resolution correction is load-bearing: the premise that Wartsila acquired ASV Global is wrong, since ASV Global was acquired by L3 Technologies on September 20, 2018, becoming L3 ASV and then L3Harris after the 2019 L3-Harris merger, with no Wartsila acquisition of ASV Global, so the registry records it under L3Harris and not as ASV Global or Wartsila. The registry records it at commercial maturity as the legacy-prime new-defense surface entry that parallels Leidos, both US legacy defense contractors entering autonomous surface naval against new-defense entrants such as Anduril and Saronic. Its current customer roster and specific naval program assignments are not enumerated given limited legacy-prime defense disclosure, and the more-than-150-vessels figure is the ASView platform figure as vendor-stated.
