USVs

The Spayk II is the largest Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) developed by SCR, larger in size than the Spayk I, with which it shares an autopilot control-system that allows it to navigate autonomously, following a previously set route. It is 4.5 metres length and has a beam of 1.9 metres and reaches a speed of up to 25 knots, with an autonomy of up to 4 hours.

To ensure safe navigation, the system incorporates different safety systems such as propulsion/electrical power cut-off switch to ensure engine shutdown and power cut-off from a vessel, safety redundancies in the event of communications failure, selection of exclusion zone causing immediate engine shutdown and auxiliary systems such as positioning beacon.

The Spayk II can be configured to tow a sub-target at a safe distance of up to 50 metres. It also allows the installation of a wide range of payloads and sensors for surveillance, maintenance or environmental control missions.
