HamiltonJet JETlink

Seamless Control Integration for Autonomous and Remote Vessel Operations

HamiltonJet’s JETlink is a purpose-built interface system designed to connect autonomous and remote-control platforms with HamiltonJet waterjet propulsion systems. Supporting both the blue ARROW and MECS control systems, JETlink enables full integration of steering, reverse, throttle, and gearbox control—bringing automation-ready capability to commercial and defense vessels alike.

Built for the Future of Marine Autonomy

As vessels become smarter and more connected, JETlink ensures your propulsion system is ready to integrate with third-party platforms. Whether for autonomous surface vessels (ASVs), dynamic positioning systems, or voyage data recorders, JETlink acts as the trusted bridge between HamiltonJet controls and advanced onboard systems.

Key Features
