Automate Maritime & Vessel Inspections
Conduct close-up structural and environmental inspections on ships and offshore assets, without risking crew safety.
MARITIME PAINPOINTS
Inspections in extreme marine environments
Salt spray, unpredictable waves, and restricted high-rise spaces make offshore and shipboard inspections slow and dangerous.
SD4+ replaces high-risk human climbing and manual sampling with fast, precise airborne inspection.
A rugged, airborne inspector for your fleet
Replace slow and dangerous physical checks with automated airborne inspections that drastically cut your operational costs.
IP67 & Sea-Ready
Fully waterproof airframe and remote built for torrential rain, heavy salt spray, and extreme marine environments.
PowerFlip Technology
Flips and takes off directly from ocean water if submerged or overturned by choppy waves during missions.
Multi-Payload Ecosystem
Rapidly swap between Thermal/4K cameras, Sniffer4D gas detectors, and water samplers in minutes.
Deck-Safe Deployment
Calibration-free flight control system enables instant, safe takeoff and landing on moving vessel decks.
VALUE DELIVERED
Field-proven performance in maritime operations
Proven reliability for global organizations, no matter the elements.
< 15
Minutes per Vessel
Rapid airborne gas sniffing and structural check without boarding or anchorage delays.
90%
Height Risk Reduction
Eliminate high-risk human climbing on masts, ship hulls, and offshore oil/wind structures.
60%+
OPEX Saved per Mission
Replace costly manned helicopters and specialized sampling vessels with a single automated UAV.
$0
Asset Loss from Drop
IP67 airframe and PowerFlip technology guarantee complete asset recovery even if wave-flipped.
“We are constantly looking to elevate safety and operational efficiency across our port and anchorage areas... SwellPro gives our team total peace of mind during our flight operations, making routine vessel inspections remarkably simple.”
Modular Inspection Payloads
01
Dual-Light Thermal Rangefinder Camera
A versatile multi-sensor payload combining high-resolution thermal imaging, visible light, and laser ranging. It penetrates darkness, fog, and water reflection to detect vessel engine heat anomalies, verify pipeline integrity, and conduct precise nighttime structural inspections.
02
Ultra-Zoom Laser Rangefinder Camera
A powerful long-range inspection payload featuring a 160x hybrid zoom camera and an integrated laser rangefinder. It enables operators to conduct close-up visual verifications of offshore wind turbines, vessel hulls, and hard-to-reach marine assets from a safe distance while acquiring precise target coordinates.
03
4K 3-Axis Gimbal Camera
A high-definition imaging payload featuring 3-axis mechanical stabilization and ultra-clear 4K video recording. It eliminates screen jitter under rough sea conditions, delivering crisp visual documentation for hull integrity checks, port infrastructure assessments, and strict compliance verification.
04
Dual-Stage Payload Release
A heavy-duty, dual-stage delivery payload capable of carrying up to 2 kg. It allows for the precise, multi-point deployment of water quality sampling devices, test buoys, or tracking beacons into hazardous marine environments, entirely removing personnel from physical exposure risks.
05
Underwater Bathymetric Sonar System
An advanced acoustic scanning payload capable of penetrating up to 100 meters underwater with three selectable waveform accuracies. It maps underwater topography and detects submerged anomalies, providing highly accurate subsurface data for submerged hull inspections, port structural assessments, and underwater asset verification.

US Coast Guard Operations
USCG utilizes SwellPro as a reference standard for all-weather maritime rescue.
The U.S. Coast Guard uses SwellPro drones as a reference standard for all-weather maritime law enforcement and search and rescue. These drones perform real-time thermal inspections and sea searches in harsh environments with up to 30-knot winds and salt spray.

Swift Water Rescue in Italy
Fire and diving rescue units rely on waterproof drones for flood emergencies.
Italian police and Fire Co. Diving-Rescue Units deploy SplashDrone for rapid water and flood rescue operations. Unaffected by heavy rain and splashes, the drones directly airdrop Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) and communication radios to victims trapped in turbulent waters.

Tracking Oil Spills in Singapore
MPA deploys drones for channel safety and spill tracking during monsoons.
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) utilizes SwellPro drones to precisely airdrop MOBOS beacons during monsoons and adverse weather. This creates dynamic digital models of oil spill drift and accurately guides rescue vessels to man-overboard locations.

Securing Brazil's Blue Amazon
The Brazilian Navy monitors its vast Exclusive Economic Zone with low-cost sensors.
Operating under the "Blue Amazon" strategy, the Brazilian Navy uses SwellPro drones as beyond-visual-line-of-sight sensors. They perform covert optical and thermal reconnaissance against smuggling and illegal fishing without risking physical contact.
