Swift Sea-Stalker S3 is an Unmanned (Remote or Autonomous) Small Unmanned Surface Vehicle (sUSV) with high endurance, a robust aluminum hull, and a heavy-duty no. 2 diesel engine available in two different propulsion packages using Propeller and Water jet-based systems. It is compliant with NATO Standardization Agreements (STANAG) 4586 and the Joint Architecture for Unmanned Systems (JAUS) protocol.
For enhanced speed, range, stability and endurance
Integrated advanced ISR package, Built-in diagnostics and redundancy for exceptional reliability
For reduced drag, improved stability and proven hull strength
For situational awareness and vessel control
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.
