Overview
6 m aluminium small USV from Swiftships that fits a 20 ft container with its trailer.
The Sea-Stalker S3 is Swiftships' small uncrewed surface vessel, a 6-metre aluminium boat that packs into a standard 20-foot container together with its trailer. It carries radar, AIS and cameras for surveillance and patrol, can run more than a day at a time and covers around 1,000 nautical miles. A self-scuttling feature lets operators sink it rather than let it be captured. A shorter, higher-performance S3-HP version is also offered.

Notes
Swiftships datasheets vary: the 6 m (19.2 ft) S3 is quoted at 30 to 45+ kn, a 1,000 to 1,200 nmi range (1,000 nmi converted to km), 20 to 30+ hours endurance and a 650 to 1,500 lb payload. It has a diesel engine with propeller or waterjet, radar, AIS and cameras, a self-scuttling hull, and fits a 20 ft container with its trailer. A shorter 5.16 m S3-HP version offers 500 nmi and four days at 5 kn.
