The S3-High Performance (S3-HP) is an Unmanned (Remote or Autonomous) Small Unmanned Surface Vehicle (sUSV) with high endurance, robust aluminum hull, heavy-duty Indmar gasoline engine with water-jet-based propulsion, and a Seakeeper 1 gyro-stabilizer.
The S3-HP is built on the proven S3 design, inheriting its modular open system architecture, plug-and-play command and control (C2), and advanced ISR capabilities, and is enhanced for missions that require agility maneuverability and high speed for ingress and egress.
The S3-HP complies with NATO Standardization Agreements (STANAG) 4586 and the Joint Architecture for Unmanned Systems (JAUS) protocols and is available as a kit or fully assembled.
Designed to autonomously search, identify and neutralize the target in defense scenarios
Designed for dominating in agility, maneuverability and speed
Tested by US Navy in Demonstrations and Exercises with Allied Navies
Integrated multi-spectral ISR, modular mission payloads with missiles, loitering munitions and EW package
COLREG Compliant Autonomous Navigation integrated with FLIR, LPI Radar and AIS sensors.
The Hull structure has been designed and validated with Stavitsky’s method to validate performance and durability.
S3-HP reaches 45 Knots with a range of 1000 NM. It features reliable Propulsion system with powerful Indmar 310 HP engine and waterjet.
DC system to provide starting power to the main engine, electronics, sensors and weapon systems. Charging via engine driven alternators or separate generator for EW payloads.
Remote monitoring of Machinery diagnostic data and vessel parameters
Capable of navigational and full-mission autonomy with man-in-the-loop control, featuring automation up to Level 5.
S3-HP is designed to overtake and intercept adversaries USVs in order to protect own fleet or escort High Value Units (HVUs) in high risk littoral environments

We design, build, integrate, and maintain naval vessels for multiple missions: from border protection to lower-intensity threat missions and high-demand or high-threat law enforcement scenarios.
Militarized Unmanned and Minimally Manned Vessels
Swiftships design and constructs of fully autonomous military vessels, and offers commercial platform conversion to militarized unmanned/minimally manned vessels. We have developed many variants of our Fast Supply Vessels (FSVs), not only for full autonomy, but also for minimally manned or remote operations of the craft.
Our primary example is an offshore patrol vessel previously called Riley Claire (aka Nomad) that is one of two offshore vessels so far converted to autonomous operation. Nomad is being tested by the US Navy in multiple missions. It traveled from the Gulf Coast through the canal to the U.S. West Coast, a total of 4,421 nautical miles, with 98% of that distance in autonomous mode and the Panama Canal in manual mode.
Learn more about Swiftships’ “Autonomous Solutions“, or read “Riley Claire (aka Nomad)” case study.
Of course, we can build your vessels in our location! But if for some economic or strategic reasons, you choose vessels’ construction at your location – Swiftships can provide you a full support. We have extensive experience working with international clients on co-production programs, and we offer customized solutions to meet your needs. Learn more…
