The Watcher is a 7-meter (22-ft) autonomous patrol boat engineered for extended offshore surveillance, restricted zone protection, and interdiction operations. It offers operational versatility with autonomous, remote-controlled, and optionally manned modes. Its rugged aluminum hull, shallow draft, and containerized transportability make it deployable from ship, shore, or air. Equipped with a 220 HP Volvo D3 inboard diesel engine, it combines high-speed interdiction (up to 36 knots) with long-endurance capabilities (30 days autonomous, 1,800 nmi range).
