SQ13 USV

SQ13 USV

Covert persistence and adaptable payload capacity for contested littoral operations.

Reduce operational risk

SQ13, powered by FLANQ, maintains surveillance close to areas of interest without risking personnel or high-value crewed platforms. Quiet electric propulsion and reduced visual and thermal signatures support extended loitering near contested shorelines, naval assets and critical infrastructure for ISR, harbour defence and force protection.

Configure for the mission

A modular architecture and 200 kg payload capacity support electro-optical, thermal, acoustic, survey and tactical underwater sensor suites. Universal sonar mounting and a dedicated instrument winch enable reconfiguration for persistent monitoring, high-resolution survey, MCM support and AUV, ROV or diver tracking and communications.

Covert persistence

Loiter close to sensitive shorelines, naval assets and infrastructure with an ultra-low acoustic and thermal signature.

Mission payload

Integrate up to 200 kg of electro-optical, acoustic, survey or subsurface sensor payloads within a plug-and-sail architecture.

Forward deployable

Launch from raiding craft, aircraft, a forward operating base or the shoreline to establish capability where it is needed.
