R&D and Prototyping

As a selected partner on multiple NAVSEA, OUSD and DoD’s R&D programs, Swiftships S-Series USV designs are shaping future fleet capabilities. Compliant with the NATO Standardization Agreements (STANAG) 4586 protocol and the Unmanned Maritime Autonomy Architecture (UMAA), our design range offers a comprehensive strategically designed suite of joint warfighting solutions, covering Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) to Small and Large Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) tailored to meet diverse operational demands.

The S2-Swift Striker and S3/S3_HP – Swift Sea Salter, ranging from 4-6 meters, are small, high-speed USVs designed for attack, ISR, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare, with modular payloads adaptable for various missions and transportable across multiple domains. The larger, 10meter LUC-E and 14m Challenger USVs add capacity and speed, supporting mission flexibility in ISR and electronic warfare. Finally, the S5-S2 Support Ship operates as a versatile mothership capable of deploying up to 32 S3 USVs as well as UAVs or containerized payloads, extending operational reach and serving as a refueling and resupply hub. Swiftships’ modular, scalable designs ensure a robust, adaptable fleet capable of addressing complex joint warfighting requirements.
