For six decades, Narwhal focuses its activity on the commercialization of semi-rigid boats, professional boats, large lengths, as well as recreational boats, offering a comprehensive service to the world of navigation. "The use of the most advanced techniques and the exhaustive quality control allow us to offer our products and materials with absolute guarantees.

Narwhal Boats are constantly evolving, pursuing the differentiation of their products and services, with a prominent presence among the world's leading shipyards in the manufacture of semi-rigid vessels. On the other hand, the company has a presence in all sector, offering a full range for all types of customers, with very good performance in both navigation and finishes, in addition to the strength and reinforcement of the construction.

Narwhal Boats is very present in the field of defense and security, both nationally and international, providing boats to organizations such as firefighters, civil protection, police and Navys.

Narwhal Boats has collaborated in ship projects autonomous whose main purpose is defense and surveillance, although it could also be used in maritime rescue and oceanographic research tasks.

LEUS (Long Endurance USV Solution) is our first prototype and demonstrator. The platform is named “Kaluga”. The system includes a single communication link and on-board electronics & software to interface with engine and rudder control, a camera, a voice module and a smoke canister dispenser. A portable ground station was also developed to provide full control over the boat

ECUVE (Environmental Control with Unmanned Vessels) is our first commercial unit. Final user is PLOCAN (Oceanic Platform of Canary Islands). The system includes two communications link: one in S-band for boat control & telemetries and one C-band for payloads control & telemetries with automatic switch between them in case of loss of communications. Four cameras was integrated to provide 360º vision. A weather station sends information about air conditions and two sensors measure some water parameters (temp, oxygen and conductivity).

USEFUL (Unmanned System for Fast Underwater Lines inspection): Development of an 11 meters USV with an integrated mini ROV (Remoted Operated Vehicle) for inspection of underwater facilites (electrical lines, pipelines…) The whole operation can be performed from a remote control station with no need of human intervention during ROV/UUV launch and recovery operations.

FIUS (Fast Intervention Unmanned System): it is a small and stealth USV (RHIB 2.80 meteres) for military applications related to ISR operations. It is equipped with EO/IR gyrostabilized cameras and ECM devices to interfere communications.
