CrafterExplorer Technology is a UK-based team of industry-leading specialists dedicated to advancing the capability and safety of uncrewed surface vessels.
Our people come from across the USV industry — designers, software engineers, system integrators, vessel operators and marine technology experts. Many have worked as freelancers and contractors across the sector; some have joined us full-time, bringing deep experience across vessel design, control systems, autonomy and regulatory compliance.
Founded by Peter Walker, a recognised innovator in the USV sector, we combine practical engineering with a drive for continuous improvement. We've built USV companies from start-ups into multi-million-pound, world-leading brands — and we have personally won industry awards for our work.
At CET we believe in practical, reliable, user-friendly systems that empower operators while ensuring safety and regulatory alignment. Whether the mission is environmental monitoring, offshore renewables, defence, or commercial survey, we are committed to delivering best-in-class technology that shapes the future of autonomous maritime operations.
