SeaSLICE

Lockheed Martin’s SLICE® technology opens up a new set of options to commercial and military uses. Ship operators want small, affordable vessels that perform at high speed in high seas. SLICE® technology fulfills all of these requirements. The key to this innovation is reduction of wave-making drag, which is accomplished by the introduction of four teardrop-shaped submerged hulls supported by short struts. SLICE® technology has been proven by the SeaSLICE prototype, which is only 105-feet long and 52-feet wide but is as stable in rough seas as a 350-foot conventional mono-hull ship.

Government applications include patrol/interdiction, search and rescue, buoy tending, oceanographic and hydrographic research, missile/satellite tracking, pilot boat, drug interdiction, environmental support and cargo transport. Commercial applications include uses for offshore support and transportation, as a ferry boat, for yachting and as an excursion vessel.
