LIG Nex1 has developed and introduced Sea Sword maritime drones for reconnaissance and strikes against enemy targets, similar to Ukrainian surface drones.
Sea Sword-II is a reconnaissance drone capable of performing surface and underwater reconnaissance missions. It is equipped with an ROV module for detecting sea mines and underwater vessels. For additional firepower, a 20 mm cannon can be installed on the bow of the boat.
The platform is equipped with sensors, including a navigation camera, electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) sensors, obstacle detection sensors, radar, antenna communication, GPS, automatic identification system (AIS) and artificial intelligence for autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance.
Technical characteristics of Sea Sword-II:
- Length: 12 m;
- width: 3,5 м;
- displacement: 9.2 tons (light load);
- speed: over 40 knots;
- range: up to 20 km (extendable with a range extender);
