The Swift Trident (ST-2) is a Group 3 long-range loitering munition with a mission-proven design, built to hold targets at risk deep inside contested territory. Launched from a vehicle or ground rail with no runway required, it offers extended range out to 250 km under beyond-line-of-sight SATCOM control and long endurance, loitering for up to 1.5 hours. For precision strike, it delivers an 8 kg multi-option warhead with man-in-the-loop terminal control, backed by GNSS/INS navigation with optional anti-jam for contested environments.
Up to 250 km (135 NM) range with beyond-line-of-sight SATCOM/relay command and control puts strategic targets within reach of tactical units.
8 kg payload configurable with HE-fragmentation (standard) warheads.
GNSS/INS navigation with optional anti-jam sustains the mission through GNSS-denied and electronically contested environments.
Vehicle or ground rail launch from dispersed, unprepared sites. Vehicle-transportable with a crew of two to three operators.
High-fidelity airspeed and attitude data keeps the autopilot precise across long-duration, 250 km mission profiles.
Stabilized day/night imaging with laser designation and man-in-the-loop terminal guidance, including operator abort and wave-off.
SATCOM/relay command link maintains positive control and full-motion video far beyond line of sight, across the full 250 km engagement envelope.
2.9 m high-aspect wing with winglets, tuned for a 1.5-hour loiter and precise terminal maneuvering.
Carries the 8 kg multi-option warhead (HE-fragmentation standard) and a 10-liter fuel load for up to 250 km of reach.
ICE 2-stroke piston engine in the ~70 cc class, pusher configuration, delivering a 170 km/h cruise and a 230 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…
