Ukraine Reveals Triton Sea Drone Designed to Fire Missiles and Deploy UAVs

A Ukrainian-developed unmanned surface vessel (USV) designed to launch drones and missiles was unveiled at the Eurosatory defense exhibition in Paris.

According to Militarnyi on June 15, Ukrainian defense company Global Mark unveiled the Triton unmanned surface vessel at Eurosatory 2026 in Paris. Designed as a multi-role maritime platform, Triton can carry a range of payloads, including aerial drones and air-to-air missiles.

The vessel can be equipped with a remote launch system for drones or missiles, as well as a remotely operated weapon station with a 500-round ammunition capacity and an optical targeting module. The platform also features an autonomous mission control system with a programmed return-to-base function.

The Triton can operate as a strike drone equipped with a 7.5-kilogram warhead and includes a built-in self-destruction mechanism. Communications are supported through a Starlink terminal backed by a secondary communications channel.

For surveillance and navigation, the vessel uses a 360-degree day-and-night camera system alongside a fixed forward-facing camera. Its hull is constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

According to specifications displayed at Eurosatory and reported by Militarnyi, the Triton measures 7.95 meters in length and 2.55 meters in width, with a waterline length of 6.9 meters. The platform has an empty displacement of 1,971 kilograms and a maximum displacement of 4,000 kilograms.

The vessel is powered by either two Suzuki DF200 AP engines or two Suzuki DF325 APX engines. It has a reported range of 600 nautical miles, a cruising speed of 22 knots, and a top speed of 40 knots. The system combines battery power capable of supporting up to 120 hours of autonomous operation with a 1,700-liter gasoline fuel tank.

Earlier, Ukrainian forces demonstrated the Barracuda uncrewed surface vessel, a floating launch platform used to deploy FPV and bomber drones against Russian positions in the Dnipro River delta. According to the 40th Separate Marine Brigade, the system has been used to strike observation posts, ammunition depots, and logistics facilities in the contested river zone.
