Saildrone
Spectre
What Spectre Delivers
Persistent naval capability for sensing, strike, and sustained presence
At 52 meters (170 feet), weighing 250 tonnes, and capable of up to 30 knots, Spectre is the largest, fastest, and most capable Saildrone platform to date, supporting complex, demanding naval missions in two variants.
Spectre Silent Endurance is optimized for anti-submarine warfare operations—missions demanding extreme endurance and an ultra-quiet acoustic signature—which it delivers by leveraging the proven endurance, reliability, and silent propulsion of the Saildrone wing system.
Spectre Stealth Strike, a wingless variant, is optimized for low-profile, higher-speed operations with concealed payload capacity for modular effectors and other mission systems.
SPECTRE SILENT ENDURANCE
Extreme range with quiet persistence for ASW and ISR
Spectre Silent Endurance leverages dual electric and diesel propulsion supplemented by the Saildrone Wing to enable near-silent electric propulsion up to 12 knots—providing the extreme range and quiet propulsion necessary for long-duration anti-submarine warfare operations. The wing also provides the sensor advantages associated with a 43-meter height-of-eye.
SPECTRE STEALTH STRIKE
Low-profile operations for high-speed mission execution
Spectre Stealth Strike, which operates without a wing, maintains a lower profile, enabling a higher maximum speed and reducing the likelihood of detection in sensitive or contested environments. This lower-profile variant is also optimized for offensive missions such as strike or electronic warfare.
