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.

Supply chain

No verified supply relationships on file. Supply-chain coverage is being added across the registry; check back as the seed populates this model’s suppliers.

Suppliers appear here when verified with at least two strong sources (maker-official / IR / regulatory / standards-body / verified tier-2). Sources are append-only; corrections add new sources rather than rewrite history.

Who makes ASView / C-Worker?
ASView / C-Worker is made by L3Harris, based in Melbourne, Florida, USA, founded in 2019.
Where is ASView / C-Worker deployed?
No verified deployments of ASView / C-Worker are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.
What is ASView / C-Worker's maturity stage?
ASView / C-Worker is at the commercial stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Commercial stage means production-grade deployments are operating at named customer sites.
