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
