Maritime Delivery–Enabled Swarm Projection

Covert Ingress. Coordinated Strike. Autonomous Maritime Advantage.

In contested and GPS-denied battlespaces, achieving proximity to the target without early detection is critical. MGI Defence’s SeaGlide platform enables low-profile, autonomous maritime ingress — delivering UAV swarms via sea, river, or inland waterways for coordinated, near-shore or in-shore operations.

Designed to transport one or multiple autonomous UAVs, SeaGlide serves as a stealthy mothership for projecting drone swarms from unexpected vectors — bypassing traditional access routes and complicating enemy situational awareness.

SeaGlide: Smart Maritime Insertion Platform

SeaGlide is an uncrewed surface vessel (USV) designed with ultra-low acoustic and thermal signature profiles. It offers long-endurance, autonomous navigation and can approach the shoreline or travel inland via rivers and canals to position UAVs closer to their targets.

Key Capabilities:

• Covert drone delivery via sea or inland waterways

• Launch of one or multiple UAVs for simultaneous or sequenced swarm projection

• Ideal for bypassing land-based detection networks and striking from unexpected directions

• Enables multi-axis attack in coordination with air- or land-launched swarms

• Supports persistent ISR, EW, or kinetic swarm missions

Whether delivering micro-UAVs, or mission-specific payloads, SeaGlide extends the reach of autonomous systems far beyond the coastline.

Delivery for Swarm Operations

Once positioned near the shoreline, SeaGlide can autonomously launch UAVs in rapid succession or synchronised swarms. These drones may perform:

• Decoy operations to force activation of enemy air defences

• Distributed EW attacks to disrupt sensors and communications

• Saturation strikes using one-way effectors in littoral or inland zones

With modular drone bays and flexible mission programming, SeaGlide supports a wide range of swarm types — enabling commanders to tailor delivery and effect to specific operational needs.

Maritime Advantage. Asymmetric Impact.

Maritime delivery–enabled swarm projection unlocks new possibilities for autonomous force deployment — using the sea as a stealth vector to bypass defences and project coordinated effects at scale.

Combined with air and ground swarm deployments, SeaGlide forms part of a multi-domain strategy to impose constant pressure, dilute enemy focus, and expose vulnerabilities through persistent autonomous operations.
