Visão geral
Long-range over-the-horizon uncrewed surface vessel used as a configurable mothership for survey payloads and autonomous underwater vehicle launch and recovery.
SEA-KIT X is a dual-use USV platform developed by SEA-KIT International in the United Kingdom. It is a long-range over-the-horizon uncrewed surface vessel configured as a survey and mothership platform that can launch and recover large AUV/UUVs or ROVs while transmitting or storing processed mission data. It is positioned for hydrographic survey, deep-water bathymetry, subsea asset inspection, AUV/UUV/ROV launch and recovery, ocean science, and maritime security missions and is listed publicly as active. Published specifications captured in this database include a published length of about 11.75 m, a reported range of about 4630 km / 2500 nmi, reported endurance of 14 days, reported speed of 6 kn max, 3 kn endurance, and 4 kn operational, and payload information covering 2 tonnes of payload, MBES, station holding, launch and recovery packages, one HUGIN or equivalent AUV/UUV, and one 350 kg ROV. The platform is described as remote-controlled / autonomous mission support in terms of control and autonomy. Its concept emphasizes remote operation through G-SAVI, reduced offshore personnel exposure, Lloyd’s Register UMS certification, COLREGS compatibility, and configurable mission packages.
