Overview

Swift LUC-E is a multi-domain warfighting USV designed to meet the USN Joint Warfighting Concept requirements for enhancing force protection, power projection, area denial, and anti-landing operations. It is capable of rapid response in contested maritime environments, choke points, straits, and confined seas within the CENTCOM and INDOPACOM theaters of operations. The LUC-E is extremely agile, highly survivable, and capable of high speed. Its modular and well-thought-out design ensures scalability and cost-effective solutions.

Swift LUC-E features a V-shaped, monohull aluminum design, and is a small unmanned vessel (remote or autonomous) with a low signature, muffled engine, EM shielding, and configurable special paint. It offers high speed and endurance, is equipped with a .50 cal or 7.62 (Dillon) Remote-Controlled Weapon System (RCWS), and supports UAV/UUV/torpedo/mine payload deployments of up to 8 tons at 25 knots. A Seakeeper 2 gyro stabilizer enhances operational stability. It is available as a kit or fully assembled.
