The Swift Striker (SS-1) is a Group 2 tactical loitering munition with a field-proven design that gives ground and naval forces an organic precision strike capability at the tactical edge. Launched from a vehicle or ground rail with no runway required for rapid deployment, it loiters for up to 1 hour and delivers a 5 kg multi-option warhead out to 100 km alongside modular payloads, with man-in-the-loop terminal guidance for precise effects and full abort authority to the final seconds of engagement.
EO/IR seeker with operator-directed terminal engagement. Abort and wave-off capability preserves positive control and minimizes collateral damage.
5 kg payload configurable with HE-fragmentation (standard) warheads to match the target set.
Vehicle or ground rail launch from unprepared sites. Single-vehicle transportable, deployed and operated by a two to three person crew.
1-hour endurance and 100 km reach let a single SS-1 find, fix, track, and finish targets deep beyond the forward line.
Day/night target acquisition and man-in-the-loop terminal guidance, with operator abort and wave-off authority through the final seconds of an engagement.
Feeds precise air data to the autopilot and carries the encrypted C2 and full-motion-video link, keeping the operator in control out to 100 km line of sight.
Houses the 5 kg multi-option warhead (HE-fragmentation standard) alongside the anti-jam GNSS/INS navigation suite.
A compact tandem-wing layout with endplate fins keeps span to just 1.5 m, giving stable low-speed loiter, a clean rail launch, and a footprint that fits on a single vehicle.
8-liter fuel load sustains 1 hour on station and a 100 km strike radius.
Single-cylinder 2-stroke gasoline engine in the ~50 cc class drives a rear-mounted pusher propeller for a 150 km/h cruise and a 210 km/h dash.

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.
Autonomy Across Air and Sea
Swiftships Autonomous Solutions bring together unmanned surface vessels, platform conversion, system integration and the SA-1 Swift Autonomy command-and-control software to reduce human risk in modern naval operations. That foundation extends into the air: our UAV family covers loitering munitions, aerial targets and multi-role payload carriers. These systems add long-range ISR, precision strike and logistics support to autonomous surface fleets. The result is a connected, multi-domain force that sees further, acts faster and keeps crews out of harm’s way.
Experience the next evolution of autonomous mission integration.
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…
