S-52 U.S.V MARIX
USV MARIX S-52 — Speed, Precision, and Tactical Authority
The USV MARIX S-52 & S-32 is engineered as a high-performance unmanned surface platform built for decisive action in both internal and external waters. Its purpose is clear: deliver rapid intelligence, maintain persistent situational awareness, and operate with authority across the full spectrum of maritime security missions.
USV MARIX S-52 & S-32
Speed, Precision, and Tactical Authority
The USV MARIX S-52 and S-32 represent a new class of high-performance unmanned surface platforms engineered for decisive operations in both internal and external waters. Their mission profile is direct: deliver rapid intelligence, maintain persistent situational awareness, and carry out maritime security tasks with authority and reliability.
High-Performance Speed & Control
Speed defines both vessels. The S-52 and S-32 utilise lightweight hydrodynamic hulls combined with high-output propulsion systems, enabling sharp acceleration and stable high-speed manoeuvring even in demanding sea states. This balance of power and control ensures the craft can overtake, evade, or shadow targets as tactical conditions dictate.
Multi-Domain Tactical Awareness
The tactical architecture centres on multi-domain detection. Each platform is equipped to identify, classify, and track targets both on the surface and below it. An integrated sensor suite—optical, infrared, radar, and sonar—creates a fused intelligence picture, delivered to the control centre in real time with minimal latency. Operators receive the continuous situational data required for rapid and informed decision-making.
Built for Protection Missions
The S-52 and S-32 are constructed for persistent protection roles. Their adaptable structural design supports multiple payload configurations, enabling their use as stand-alone surveillance assets or force-multiplying escort vessels. They are capable of long-duration patrols, perimeter defence, interdiction support, and continuous overwatch—without human risk or performance degradation.
Mission Adaptability
Adaptability is a core principle of the MARIX design philosophy. Both vessels can be deployed for law-enforcement duties, border and port security, critical-infrastructure defence, environmental monitoring, high-risk reconnaissance, and search operations. They remain fully effective in confined harbour spaces or wide-area open-water deployments.
Designed & Developed by USV MARIX Manufacturing
Every component of the S-52 and S-32 originates from USV MARIX Manufacturing. This guarantees full engineering control, secure system integration, and complete technological sovereignty. These platforms do not mimic existing maritime systems—they establish a new standard of autonomous maritime capability defined by speed, resilience, and tactical precision.
A Deliberate Statement of Capability
The S-52 and S-32 stand as a clear declaration: precision, persistence, and operational readiness cannot be optional. These vessels are engineered to perform consistently under the harshest operational conditions, delivering mission success wherever and whenever it is demanded.

If you require further information to proceed with the purchase of this vessel, we will be pleased to provide it. However, because the technical specifications and operational data are sensitive and classified, your company must first undergo full verification and security clearance through the relevant United Kingdom authorities before any additional material can be disclosed.
For example, your company must be an officially established and registered entity within the United Kingdom, or, if operating internationally, your organisation must apply for verification through your own national Embassy in London, as well as through the United Kingdom Department for Business and Trade. These checks are mandatory for all buyers of controlled maritime defence assets.
In addition, an End-User Certificate (EUC) and a formal end-user undertaking must be signed and executed through a UK-authorised solicitor’s office with the appropriate legal standing and certification. No transfer of documentation, data, or equipment will take place until end-user approval and full legal compliance have been satisfied.
This vessel is constructed using high-quality materials, including HDPE structural components and Kevlar reinforcement. If the craft collides with an object such as a pier, or is subjected to an attack or deliberate impact, the hull is designed to withstand force due to the shock-resistant properties of the materials used.
The vessel is supplied with a comprehensive warranty package: a 3-year warranty on all electronic systems, a 7-year structural warranty on the hull, and a 3-year warranty covering the engine and propulsion systems.
