The “Black Eye Sea” (BES) by Grégory Boucly is an unmanned surface vehicle that touts capabilities of conducting a variety of missions in littoral waters with mission specific payloads.

Be it at the surface, subsurface or ashore, the state of the art craft is capable of tracking all targets of interest.
