HWT X-1 POTOTYPE IN OPERATION Unmanned System - Scalable 6 Years of Development Rigorous Testing Patented WingSail & Controls Autonomous Vehicle Control LOS and BLOS Communications Man-in-the-loop Capability
2
INITIAL X-2 SENSOR CAPABILITIES Vessel is equipped with X-band surface radar, EO/IR camera system, INU and GPS/AHRS system Radar combined with EO/IR camera system acquires and tracks a target within 15 NM acquisition zone Live video feed of a target is capture and is transmitted over LOS/BLOS to control station Demonstrated Towed Acoustic Array capabilities Surface Radar Antenna LOS coms 360 deg EO/IR Camera Acoustic Array Antenna BLOS coms
3
X-3 AUSV PRODUCTION VESSEL DESIGN Based on proven multi-hull designs 3+ months at sea Energy scavenging Highly mobile platform Flexible payload capability Hydrofoils/split-wing for sea keeping HWT Proprietary
4
X-3 PERFORMANCE CHARATERISTICS Top sailing speed 25 KTS in 15 KTS true wind speed Top auxiliary motor speed 15 KTS Minimum sailing speed of ¾ true wind speed under 12 KTS Capability to sail in reverse at 5-10 KTS Low radar cross section, Sonar, I/R, wake and magnetic signatures Low observable profile Covert night operations Fully operational in up to Sea State 5 Survivable in Sea State 8 Sensor Capabilities Surface Radar Sonar/Acoustic Array EO/IR AIS signal tracking information ELINT HWT Proprietary
5
Tracking for Moving Vessels Sonar range up to 15 nautical miles provides initial detection Surface Radar range up to 15 nautical miles sweeps Sonar contact area Close on target to 5 nautical mile EO/IR camera range Cues other assets to intercept or track target Stationary or roving patrol areas 70 nm
6
Remote Target ISR Command Ship directs AUSV search pattern AUSV determines location and speed of target vessel Close on target to 5 nautical mile EO/IR camera range for positive ID Contact can be overt or covert Command Ship remotely controls AUSV EO/IR cameras USV Target Tracking USV Target Image
7
