SQ08 USV

SQ08 USV

Attributable USV with the payload flexibility to adapt as the mission changes.

Secure the littoral

SQ08, powered by FLANQ, is a lightweight expeditionary USV designed for rapid deployment across ports, harbours and littoral waters. Dual electric drives, autonomous navigation and a 30 kg payload support persistent ISR, coastal security, hydrographic survey and infrastructure protection. Its compact form and endurance give naval and security teams an immediately deployable capability for missions where access, discretion and speed matter.

One platform. Multiple missions

A 30 kg internal payload bay allows SQ08 to transition between security, inspection and survey missions. Sonar, multispectral and hydrographic sensors can be integrated for asset inspection, seabed survey, object detection and environmental monitoring - reducing the need to commit personnel or a dedicated crewed platform.

Low logistics

Launch quickly from small craft, quays or shorelines with minimal infrastructure and a low logistics footprint.

Covert observation

Maintain wide-area visual coverage using 360-degree night vision, optional electro-optical sensors and up to 16 hours of endurance.

Flexible payload

Configure the internal mission bay for surveillance, sonar, hydrographic survey or maritime asset-protection requirements.
