RobotRisk / marine robotics / Maritime Applied Physics Corporation

Maritime Applied Physics Corporation

Products: usv. Risk band: Low   RobotRisk index 9.8/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 99th percentile of 86 marine robotics companies.

Analyst brief

The record holds a single malfunction entry: an unmanned surface vessel struck and capsized a support boat during a Navy experiment, severity 3. One incident against a marine-robotics category built on defense and research test programs is not a pattern; it is an isolated test-environment event. The index of 9.9 and 98.8 percentile place the company at the low-risk end of its category, consistent with a thin, single-event record rather than a demonstrated failure mode. The entry is press-reported, tied to a discrete test mishap rather than a regulatory finding or recall.
