Introducing Saildrone Spectre

Saildrone’s largest, fastest, and most capable platform to date, Spectre is designed to fill a critical ASW capability gap and deliver high-speed and stealth kinetic strike.

The ocean is contested. Persistence wins.

SYSTEMS THAT DELIVER

Two Variants.
One New Class of Naval USV.

Saildrone Spectre introduces a new class of unmanned surface vessel built for high-end naval operations. One variant is optimized for silent endurance, delivering ultra-quiet persistence for ASW and ISR. The other is configured for stealth strike, combining low observability, sprint speed, and flexible payload capacity in a single platform.

Silent Endurance for ultra-quiet ASW, ISR, and long-duration missions

Stealth Strike configured for low-profile, high-speed kinetic operations

Flexible Payload Capacity for sonar, launch systems, and containerized mission systems

Launch Announcement

MISSION-READY PLATFORMS

Built for Persistence, Resilience, and Precision

Extreme endurance. Proven autonomy. Saildrone USVs operate in the harshest environments and remain on-station and on-mission, enabling manned ships and their crews to focus on the missions that only they accomplish. Equipped with a range of payloads, Saildrone USVs deliver intelligence and mission effects with unrivaled efficiency.

SPECTRE SILENT ENDURANCE

Quiet persistence

Optimized for anti-submarine warfare and ISR, with near-silent propulsion, long-range endurance, and payload capacity for towed arrays, variable-depth sonar, and other mission systems.

SPECTRE STEALTH STRIKE

Low-profile operations

Configured without the wing for higher-speed, low-observable missions, with concealed payload capacity for modular effectors and other kinetic systems.

SURVEYOR

Blue-water dominance

Engineered for deep-ocean mapping, undersea detection, and maritime power projection. Integrates advanced sensors for persistent ISR above and below the surface, and modern effectors to shape the battlespace.
