Smaller 9 m member of ST Engineering's VENUS USV family, trialled for police and harbour security.
VENUS 9 is the smallest regularly cited member of ST Engineering's VENUS family of modular uncrewed surface vessels, which also includes 11 m and 16 m versions. At about 9.5 m long, it can be fitted with waterjets or propellers, reaches around 30 knots, and carries 2 to 2.5 tonnes of mission payload. It shares the family's collision-detection and avoidance autonomy, and the Singapore Police Coast Guard has trialled it alongside the larger VENUS 16 for harbour security and patrol.
