With its W-foils, this self-sailing beauty glides five feet above the waves, ensuring a smooth, thrilling ride. ⛵️

Like its predecessor, the USV is fitted with W-foils that allow it to fly five feet above the waves. This ensures a smooth and quiet cruising experience and impressive speeds. In fact, the vessel can hit a top speed of 40 knots and a cruising speed of 30 knots. Enata says the foils also increase overall stability and result in tight, sports car-like handling.

The versatile 32-footer could undertake a variety of roles, including monitoring and patrol. It could even be paired with drone UAVs or other surveillance equipment.“The Foiler USV’s unmatched performance, range, and handling combined with the highly intelligent Wingman software and autonomous capability makes it the perfect option for coastal security and longer-range mission profiles,” Enata’s director Alois Vieujot said in a statement.

The Foiler USV is being developed for military clients but it could also be offered to private owners in the future. Production of the Foiler USV is currently underway and a working demonstrator is expected to launch in late 2023 or early 2024.
