AVEX•Aevex completes BlackSea Technologies acquisition
Aevex completed its acquisition of BlackSea Technologies, expanding into unmanned surface and subsea vessels alongside its air systems.
BlackSea will operate as AEVEX’s Maritime Systems division, led by former BlackSea CEO Bob Pudney.
BlackSea has delivered more than 350 unmanned surface vessels, logging over 25,000 operational hours supporting U.S. Navy 5th Fleet missions.
The Baltimore facility adds maritime manufacturing capacity of about 40 USVs per month, complementing AEVEX’s domestic production network.
The combined group targets integrated air-surface-subsea missions using CompassX autonomy software and multi-domain payload integration.
