DEFENCE & SECURITY
SEA-KIT Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USVs) provide a safer, low-cost and environmentally low-impact solution to the military, defence and security sectors. These adaptable, uncrewed and remotely-controlled vessels enable over-the-horizon deployment of systems and sensors for numerous mission types, including naval operations and the security and monitoring of coastal offshore assets.
By moving military and security personnel back to a safer environment, SEA-KIT USVs significantly reduce operational risk. Simple and low-cost mobilisation, extended endurance and reduced downtime costs make SEA-KIT USVs a fit-for-purpose solution to many military and security challenges.
SEA-KIT X
The SEA-KIT X Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) provides a versatile, robust platform for naval defence and maritime security operations. A large payload capacity, long range and extended endurance capabilities enable this USV to undertake missions in a standalone capacity or as part of a larger group of crewed or uncrewed vessels as a force multiplier.
Its ability to launch and recover a variety of vehicles and payloads, such as AUV/UUVs and ROVs, enables multiple tasks to be conducted without placing personnel in harm’s way and at significantly reduced cost compared to crewed vessels. SEA-KIT USVs are controlled using SEA-KIT’s proprietary G-SAVI control and surveillance platform, which provides safe and secure operation from remote control centres.
The SEA-KIT X design is patented and holds Lloyd's Register Unmanned Marine Systems (UMS) certification. SEA-KIT hull designs are certified by Lloyd’s Register.

SEA-KIT H
The SEA-KIT H-Class USV’s highly configurable design, with retractable gondola and dual sensor deployment options, is
based on operational data and feedback collected from the proven and established X-Class USVs.
As well as increased power, seakeeping and fuel capacity, the vessel has a composite hull, reducing the ship’s weight with
the resulting fuel saving and endurance benefits. Active stabilisers minimise roll and improve data collection quality.
The H-Class further reduces surface and subsurface noise and vibration and offers flexible operational parameters. A variety of sensors can be accommodated in its retractable gondola, such as a Single/Multi Beam Echo Sounder or Sub Bottom Profiler. The USV can deploy a tow cage, SVP, MAPR, CTD and towfish/side scan sonar for deep water and nearshore bathymetric and hydrographic survey missions.
The SEA-KIT H design will hold Lloyd's Register Unmanned Marine Systems (UMS) certification. The SEA-KIT hull design will be certified by Lloyd’s Register.

SEA-KIT XL
The SEA-KIT XL Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) is a robust and versatile naval defence and maritime security platform that can operate effectively at long range even in heavy seas. With a payload capacity of up to 7 tonnes and powerful bollard pull, the XL USV is suitable for towing seismic cables and larger sensors.
The XL can launch and recover a range of diff erent vehicles and payloads, such as AUV/UUVs and ROVs, enabling the execution of multiple missions at reduced cost and with less risk to personnel than crewed vessels. Fully redundant station holding capability, Cat 0 operations for unrestricted use and a large lithium UPS supply for ship systems make the SEA-KIT XL a high-endurance standalone asset or strong force multiplier as part of a larger fleet.
SEA-KIT USVs are controlled using SEA-KIT’s proprietary G-SAVI control and surveillance platform, which provides safe and secure operation from remote control centres.
The SEA-KIT XL design is patented and holds Lloyd's Register Unmanned Marine Systems (UMS) certification. SEA-KIT hull designs are certified by Lloyd’s Register.
