ELC: Expeditionary Littoral Craft

Extreme Endurance and High Speed
Minimal Signature
Proven Hull

Overview

The Swift 35 Feet ELC (Expeditionary Littoral Craft) is built on Swiftships’ 80+ years of experience providing robust, reliable small craft for near-shore and riverine operations in austere environments. It is a USMC proven platform, built to operate in tropical regions with assured top performance in sustained ambient air temperatures over 100° Fahrenheit.

The ELC platform is designed to conduct littoral / distributed operations and is capable of performing reconnaissance, sensing, tactical maneuver, and logistics support in the maritime domain, in both international deep blue waters and coastal/riverine zones. The ELC is a revolutionary platform due to its extreme endurance, speed, minimal signature, ability to support manned/unmanned assets (+100-200 nodes via 5G.MIL® Lockheed’s Martin), and affordability.
