Bayonet AUGV

Bayonet Autonomous Underwater Ground Vehicles (AUGVs) crawl directly on the seabed and push through the surf zone to the beachhead rather than swimming over it. Specialized for mine countermeasures and coastal survey, they are a primary asset in the US Marine Corps LEON Program of Record. They are expeditionary, deploying from small boats or the shoreline without fixed infrastructure, and run Greensea Core with Bayonet Workspace.
