SEAWINGS Project EU

Fast deployment and intervention at sea are critical in several defence scenarios and manned and unmanned aerial vehicles are commonly used for quick reconnaissance and response in these situations. The development of autonomous vehicles that bring together speed, flexibility and energy efficiency is, therefore, of critical importance. SEAWINGS proposes the development of wing-in-ground effect vehicles (WIG vehicles) designed to increase strategic preparedness and to perform defence-related operations and missions in the sea/air interface in Europe.
