SU-1: SWIFT UNDERTAKER-1

ISR Missions
Mine Countermeasures
Environmental Survey

Overview

The SU-1 is a compact, high-endurance Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) designed to deliver reliable autonomous performance in demanding maritime environments. Its rugged aluminum structural frame, durable HDPE outer shell, and free-flooding hull design reduce buoyancy complexity while maximizing operational reliability. Featuring a low-power architecture, modular payload sections, small-aperture sensing, and two-way communications, the SU-1 offers a flexible and adaptable solution for ISR, mine countermeasures, and environmental survey operations.
