Reaching what others can’t. Treating what matters most.
About Us
Riparian Systems designs and delivers purpose-built, shore-launchable watercraft engineered for environments conventional boats cannot reach. Our vessels operate from land, navigate shallow and obstructed waterways, and support a wide range of mission profiles—including aquatic treatment, recovery operations, search and rescue efforts, disaster-relief scenarios, and other civil-use applications. Built on a proven engineering lineage, Riparian watercraft bring precision, access, and reliable control to the riparian zone—where clarity and capability matter most.
Precision Treatment Vessel
A shore-launchable platform engineered for targeted aquatic treatment. Caliber delivers precise chemical treatment applications with minimal drift, documented GPS spray paths, and consistent control in shallow, narrow, or obstructed waterways.
Search, Rescue and Recovery Vessel
Designed for challenging and hard-to-access waterways, it enables teams to remotely map underwater features, locate submerged objects, and return to identified locations with repeatable accuracy—without entering the water. By supporting autonomous and manual mission execution, Guardian extends operational timeframes beyond human limitations, improves data consistency, and reduces the physical demands placed on response teams. The result is more accurate searches, clearer situational awareness, and safer, more efficient recovery operations.
