S5: Support Ship (Mother Ship) For Multi-Domain Unmanned Systems

Fleet Force Multiplier ​
Multi Mission Performance ​
Effective and Affordable ​

Overview

S5: S3 Support Ships (S5) is a state-of-the-art engineering solution for LUSV, utilizing a proven Fast Supply Vessel (FSV) platform. It is an unmanned (remote or autonomous) large, high-speed Unmanned Surface Vehicle (LUSV) with long endurance, a robust aluminum hull, and a heavy-duty propulsion pack. The design is ABS-approved, with multiple configurations and a TRL 9 rating for both the craft and its technology.

Outfitted with containerized missile defense systems, strike packages, mission modules, and launch and retrieval capabilities for UAVs, USVs, and UUVs, this vessel can execute multiple missions simultaneously, including defensive and offensive surface and underwater warfare. Additionally, it can serve as a logistics support platform.

Collaborating with U.S. Navy (N95) divisions, Swiftships has enhanced the range and adaptability of its commercial platforms to create the Multi-Mission USV (MM-USV), supporting U.S. and Allied Force objectives at a fraction of the costs of traditional naval vessels. This vessel has reserve weight and space capacity, enabling clients to customize weapons, sensors, and unmanned systems to meet specific theater and mission requirements.

Key Features
