Singapore's MARSEC USV by ST Engineering

Presentation of the MARSEC (Maritime Security) USV (unmanned surface vessel) of the Republic of Singapore Navy, designed and built by ST Engineering, during IMDEX Asia 2025. ===================== Singapore has long been a pioneer in adopting unmanned surface vessels (USV) – initially with Rafael’s 9m Protector embarked aboard an Endurance-class landing platform dock in the Arabian Gulf 20 years ago, more recently with the VENUS 16 USV for mine warfare missions – and now the country has operationalized another type of USV. These USVs are called the MARSEC and, as their name suggests, the small fleet performs maritime security. Since 2023, the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) has been operating these 30-tonne vessels with two crew aboard. However, they are now being used in a fully unmanned mode. More than 1,000 commercial vessels ply the Singapore Strait daily, and the operationalisation of these unmanned vessels adds to the island nation’s existing combination of shore sensors and ships at sea. Furthermore, the MARSEC USVs free up larger vessels to perform more complex and longer-range missions. Twin diesel engines coupled to waterjets power the Singaporean USV to speeds exceeding 25 knots, and they have at least 36 hours of endurance. Equipment includes a strobe light and siren, searchlight, Rafael Toplite electro-optical sensor, Genasys long-range acoustic device, Hitrole 12.7mm remote weapon station paired with a laser dazzler, and navigation radar. Four MARSEC vessels have been delivered to the Republic of SIngapore Navy so far. All are based at Changi Naval Base. Singapore is investing heavily in uncrewed systems. For example, six Multirole Combat Vessels (MRCV), the first of which is due to enter service in 2028, will act as motherships for aerial, surface and underwater unmanned systems. ===================== For new videos every week, subscribe here! http://www.youtube.com/c/NavalNews?su...
