Harbor Wing Technologies
BMW/Oracle Winged Tri-maranWins Americas Cup
HWT engineers played design role
Harbor Wing Technologies designs and develops computer controlled, primarily wind driven, Autonomous Unmanned Surface Vessel “AUSV” for military and homeland defense missions, and WingSails™ for commercial and recreational applications.
HWT UNMANNED SYSTEM IN OPERATION
• 5 Years of Successful Development• Passed Various Testing Regimens• Patented Controls
• Advanced Computer Drive• Wing on Wing Design• 360 deg. Rotation• Single Pilot Management• No on-board Crew• Scalable to any size
Accurate, Fast, Controllable• WingSail™ propulsion controlled
to desired speeds• Efficient on all points of sail• Assigned GPS way points achieved
within 3.5 meter cross track error• Steady straight headings maintained
despite strong winds and seas (40
knot maximum apparent wind, steep
6ft sea)• Precise course holding on extended
transits, divergent wind and wave
directions• Pivot like turn maneuvers without
perceptible drift• Station keeping within 30 meters
X-3: Designed for the Open Ocean
3 Months at Sea
Power Storage and Generation
• Batteries/Capacitors – Lithium Ion, capacity 51kW• 2000 sq. ft. thin film solar panel area,10 kW• 10 Kw generator set and 300 gal. fuel• Electric motors in regeneration mode, 12,400 watts
X-3 Characteristics/Capabilities
Vessel Performance Characteristics• 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 and Magnetic Signature• Low visibility by target when approaching into the wind • High level of covert night operations • Fully operational in up to Sea State 5
Sensor Capabilities• Surface Radar• Sonar • EO/IR• AIS signal tracking information• ELINT• Collision Avoidance• Communications
AUSV MISSIONS• Deep-ocean Surveillance and Reconnaissance
• Strategic areas of interest/maritime choke points• Pacific approaches to Guam or Hawaii• Papahanamokuakea Marine National Monument • Singapore Straits, Malacca, South China Sea
• Patrol designated areas*• Persistent fixed area surveillance• Pre-position to operate with arriving platforms
• Coastal Waters Surveillance and Patrol• Anti-terror force protection• EEZ Fishing enforcement • Coastal security, Border Patrol• Drug smuggling interdiction
• Semi-submersibles and Panga Boats
* 6 Knot patrol corresponds to 5,760 Sq Nm surveyed per day
