S3-HP2
Product descripton: S3-HP2 by Swiftships
The S3-High Performance 2 (S3-HP2) is a 4.76 m high-performance Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) designed for asymmetric maritime warfare, ISR, and multi-domain security operations. As the latest outboard-powered variant of the S3 family, it combines a rugged marine-grade aluminum hull, Seakeeper stabilization, and a 115 HP Yamaha outboard engine to deliver exceptional agility, reliability, and mission flexibility.
The platform integrates advanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, plug-and-play command and control (C2), autonomous navigation, and secure communications for remote or autonomous operations. With modular payload options, cyber-hardened architecture, and compliance with NATO STANAG 4586 and JAUS standards, the S3-HP2 provides a scalable solution for defense and maritime security missions. The vessel is available fully assembled or as a kit.
