Capabilities
Engineering Capability, Environmental Responsibility
Riparian Systems delivers mission-specific watercraft and integrated technologies engineered for the most demanding aquatic environments. Our capabilities support operators responsible for treatment, surveying, search, rescue, and recovery—bringing precision, control, and safety to the water’s edge.
Each vessel is built on a flexible, shore-launchable platform that can be configured with specialized payloads and navigation systems, enabling teams to perform critical tasks in shallow, narrow, obstructed, or otherwise inaccessible waterways.
USV Engineering & Platform Development
Riparian Systems designs adaptable, remotely operated watercraft built for specialized field operations. Our engineering approach emphasizes stability, precision navigation, low-draft maneuverability, and safe operation from shore.
Search, Rescue & Recovery Operations
Guardian 1.0 extends responder capability into areas where traditional vessels cannot operate efficiently. Designed for both autonomous missions and manual operator control, Guardian adapts to the demands of each operation—supporting extended searches, repeatable coverage patterns, and precision response when human endurance or access is limited. With support for a thermal camera, underwater mapping tools, audible alerts, retrieval systems, and repeatable GPS positioning, Guardian enables responders to locate, assist, and recover individuals or objects from shore with minimal personnel risk. Autonomous mission capability allows searches to continue beyond typical human time constraints while improving data consistency, while manual control provides real-time responsiveness when conditions or judgment require direct oversight. Mapping functions broaden search scope, increase situational clarity, and support more predictable, coordinated response efforts.
Precision Treatment Delivery Systems
Caliber 3.0 enables highly accurate chemical application with minimal drift and documented GPS spray paths for regulatory and operational transparency. Optional payload configurations also allow Caliber to support limited underwater mapping tasks when needed for treatment planning or verification. Its systems are designed for repeatable routes and verifiable results in vegetation control programs.
Data Acquisition & Payload Integration
All Riparian vessels are designed to support mission-specific payloads, including cameras, sensors, mapping tools, communication systems, lighting, and retrieval equipment. Modular configurations allow teams to tailor each vessel to the specific demands of their fieldwork.
Maintenance & Support Services
Riparian Systems provides training, maintenance and repair support to help operators keep their vessels mission-ready. Detailed service offerings will continue to evolve alongside our product line and are available through direct consultation with our team.
