The full spectrum of maritime and USV program support.
Your USV program needs someone who's been on the water. With thousands of hours across maritime programs and deployed operations, we don't show up to learn the system.
We show up to run it.

Your program can't afford the wrong rep at a test event
Don’t let the wrong rep cost your program.
Cardinal North is built on a standard most contractors Have yet to reach.
We've seen programs suffer from support that wasn't ready. We've cleaned up the mess others left behind. And we've spent thousands of hours making sure it never happened on our watch. That's not a pitch — it's the standard we hold ourselves and everyone who works alongside us to.
Cardinal North is growing a bench of specialists who share that standard. If you're a field rep, technician, or maritime professional who's done the real work, we want to hear from you.
What your program looks like with the right support.

From the people who've worked alongside CARDINAL NORTH.
"He was able to lead our team to achieve our missions on-time, even under challenging circumstances. There were many unforeseen situations in running the highly technical and innovative test events for the United States Navy. James' calm demeanor, excellent communications skills, and troubleshooting skills guided the team through difficulties involving failed systems, schedule changes, and equipment malfunctions."
Belinda Dryden, Project Manager · Textron Systems
"James is a great technical and team leader. He isn't afraid to be in stressful situations during critical testing events. He is a quick learner of highly complex systems and a very detailed troubleshooter."
Rich Bauernschub, Lecturer · Johns Hopkins University, former Textron Systems
"Throughout our collaboration, I witnessed James's impressive expertise in engines and electrical engineering. James consistently displayed a proactive approach and a knack for problem-solving, making him an invaluable asset to any project."
