S-WISE Underwater Loitering Munition System for Naval Missions

Naval loitering system

The S-WISE underwater unmanned system is a hybrid multi-mission submarine, capable of performing both MCM/ISR missions as well as being configured as a naval loitering munition. It can operate autonomously on the surface and submerged, either independently or cooperatively.

Technology for Naval Forces

Enabling Sea Control with Affordable Autonomy

The S-WISE underwater unmanned system combines cutting-edge design with unmatched mission versatility. Its autonomous navigation capabilities allow it to operate independently in complex environments, maintaining high efficiency and precision. Thanks to its superior stability and control, S-WISE can overcome challenges imposed by sea conditions or underwater currents, ensuring reliable performance where other vehicles struggle.

With its advanced maneuverability, supported by an innovative control architecture, the system provides seamless operation in confined or dynamic underwater scenarios. In addition, SWISE is not only a mission-ready tool but also an effective training and simulation platform, enabling crews to rehearse operations, refine strategies, and enhance readiness in a risk-free environment.

Cutting-Edge Technology for Underwater Missions

S-WISE: Next-Generation Unmanned Underwater Vehicle

S-WISE offers significant advantages over other UUVs on the market, including superior performance in speed and endurance, greater internal and external payload capacity, and reduced production costs thanks to advanced manufacturing techniques. Its novel lift-based submersible design, combined with an innovative propulsion and battery system, delivers unprecedented performance for this class of vehicle.

The system is designed for contested logistics, enabling distributed repair, spare-part production, or even complete manufacturing on remote islands or aboard ships. This is possible thanks to its design optimized for 3D-printed, acoustically transparent plastics, making S-WISE the most cost-effective solution available.

At its core, S-WISE integrates a cutting-edge onboard computer with edge computing capability, featuring a dedicated GPU for processing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) specifically designed for loitering operations. It can recognize, classify, and count different objects, map them, and share data with other units using advanced persistence algorithms.
