Overview
Swift Sea-Stalker S3 is an Unmanned (Remote or Autonomous) Small Unmanned Surface Vehicle (sUSV) with high endurance, a robust aluminum hull, and a heavy-duty no. 2 diesel engine available in two different propulsion packages using Propeller and Water jet-based systems. It is compliant with NATO Standardization Agreements (STANAG) 4586 and the Joint Architecture for Unmanned Systems (JAUS) protocol.
Key Features
Game Changing Capabilities
NAVIGATING SYSTEM
User Interface (UI) to allow local and remote monitoring. The MCS will also serve as the Vessel Alarm and Monitoring System.
SEAFRAME
The Hull structure has been designed and validated with Stavitsky’s method to validate performance.
PROPULSION SYSTESM
S3 reaches 30 Knots with a range of 1000NM.It features reliable Propulsion system with powerful engine (Yanmar, 4LV230 rated at 230 HP [3800 RPM]).
POWER GENERATION
DC system to provide starting power to the main engine, electronics and sensors. Charging via engine driven alternators.
DIAGNOSTICS AND RESPONSE
Independent/redundant bilge pumps with level sensors to provide a simple/robust system that also includes flooding/scuttling.
AUTONOMY SOLUTION
Capability to report and control the ship's systems and provide an interface between the autonomy system, ship's propulsion and machinery controls (MECS)

Militarized Unmanned and Minimally Manned Vessels
Swiftships design and constructs of fully autonomous military vessels, and offers commercial platform conversion to militarized unmanned/minimally manned vessels. We have developed many variants of our Fast Supply Vessels (FSVs), not only for full autonomy, but also for minimally manned or remote operations of the craft.
Our primary example is an offshore patrol vessel previously called Riley Claire (aka Nomad) that is one of two offshore vessels so far converted to autonomous operation. Nomad is being tested by the US Navy in multiple missions. It traveled from the Gulf Coast through the canal to the U.S. West Coast, a total of 4,421 nautical miles, with 98% of that distance in autonomous mode and the Panama Canal in manual mode.

How can we work together?
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…
Other Platforms
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.
