System Integration and Technology

Swiftships has outpaced their competition by developing a fleet of small, medium, and large Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) that combine power, speed, stealth, mobility, ease of deployment, and mission readiness. Even without a sailor in the loop (either onboard or remotely), these platforms are incredibly dependable, with integrated automation providing a sophisticated command and control system.

Unmanned or autonomous missions require significant machine control capacity, including automated filter replacements and electrical system manipulations to ensure safe operations. Even more critical for unmanned missions is a ship’s ability to have collision avoidance via radar and sonar sensors, allowing the vessel to maneuver in open water and busy harbors and ports safely.

Additionally, autonomous technology and ship systems integration is one of the most critical areas where an experienced integrator is required to assure an unmanned vessel’s safety, reliability, and mission readiness. Swiftships collaborates with industry-leading technology developers and original equipment manufacturers and has the required expertise and experience in the integration of mission-critical systems based on clients’ configuration requirements – from ship exterior modifications to the most complicated machinery and electrical (HME) components, electronics, communication and navigation (COM/NAV), weapons systems, and numerous system overhauls, servicing, and upgrades.

Autonomy Integration to Naval Platforms

Autonomous solutions are already highly utilized for intelligence gathering, surveillance, and reconnaissance, as well as for mine countermeasures, military training, and tests. We also see unmanned systems being applied in maritime security, anti-submarine warfare, drug interdictions, and in the launch and recovery of host platforms. Advanced technologies enable numerous options for custom autonomous system integration into naval platforms.

Missile, Weapon and Combat Management Systems

Limited to full autonomy in self-defense scenarios can be provided through decoys, Close-In Weapon Systems (CIWS), Point Defense Weapon Systems (PDWS), Automated Guns, and Surface-to-Surface Missiles (SSMs) and Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAMs).
