Sentinel SXX3 Unmanned Surface Vessel

The Sentinel Class SXX3, 3-metre Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) tailored for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR).

JDMI Sentinel Class

The SXX3 at 3 meters is tailored for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), meticulously crafted using the HDPE method. The SXX3 is in production, having successfully completed sea trials and is poised for customer demonstrations in 2024. Despite its compact size, this vessel boasts an impressive top speed of 35 knots, a range of 250 nautical miles, and possesses self-righting capabilities. With a very low radar signature, it can loiter for days while awaiting missions. The SXX3’s modular design provides JDMI with the flexibility to tailor additional systems, including kinetic systems, to meet the specific needs of end-users.

Despite being the smallest vessel in its class, the SXX3 employs the same AI robotic control panel planned for use in larger Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs). This integrated approach ensures unified control over all onboard systems, delivering a strategic advantage even before the construction of larger vessels in the same class. Our commitment to research and development extends to collaborations with partners on LIDAR, active camouflage, and meta-materials. Moreover, we have forged a partnership with Europe’s largest 3D printing company to explore innovative design concepts for future USVs. The autonomous navigation system, SM300, has undergone rigorous testing and certification by Bureau Veritas, receiving approval for use cases from both the United States Coast Guard and the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). Developed through over 5,000 hours of on-the-water validation trials, the SM300 ensures a reliable and robust autonomous navigation experience.

Hagglunds BV206

The strategic deployment of SXX3 via the Hagglunds BV206 is facilitated by the JDMI hydraulic launching system.

This system securely attaches to the BV206’s rear chassis, accompanied by a specially crafted cradle, streamlining the launch and retrieval process for quick and straightforward operations.

This configuration enhances the mobility of the US unit, enabling it to execute diverse reconnaissance missions with agility. Additionally, the SXX3 comes equipped with a standard road trailer and is adaptable for launch by any military vehicle equipped with a towing hitch.
