Rapid Insertion, Mission-Ready Interior

The SABR is designed for rapid deployment, allowing special forces teams to be inserted swiftly and silently into operational zones. Its streamlined, hydrodynamic form and powerful twin propulsion system enable high-speed transits with minimal detection risk. Despite its compact external profile, the interior comfortably accommodates four operators, providing ample space for mission gear and movement. This balance of speed, stealth, and onboard comfort makes SABR an ideal asset for demanding underwater insertion and extraction missions.

Streamlined for Stealth and Speed

The SABR features a finely tuned hydrodynamic hull, engineered to minimize drag and maximize efficiency beneath the surface. Its streamlined design—refined through extensive fluid dynamics modeling—allows it to cut through water with reduced resistance, enabling higher speeds and lower energy consumption than traditional diver delivery vehicles. This edge in performance gives operators the ability to cover greater distances, reach targets faster, and maintain stealth—all without compromising stability or control.

Steering rudder

SABR’s integrated rudder system ensures precise directional control during all phases of the mission. Whether navigating tight underwater corridors or adjusting course mid-transit, the rudder enables smooth, stable turns with minimal energy loss—crucial for maintaining stealth and accuracy.

Top Entry/Escape Hatch

The centrally located top hatch allows for fast and secure ingress and egress. Whether boarding from a support vessel or exiting in a high-pressure scenario, the hatch is optimized for efficiency and emergency use, offering a safe and practical solution for operators wearing full dive gear.

Advanced Battery System

SABR is powered by a next-generation lithium-based battery system, offering long operational endurance with minimal thermal and acoustic output. The battery design supports extended missions without the need for external power, making it ideal for prolonged covert operations in contested waters.

Dual 25kW Propulsion System

Equipped with two high-efficiency 25kW electric thrusters, SABR delivers impressive underwater speed and acceleration. This dual-motor setup ensures redundancy and superior maneuverability, while maintaining a quiet acoustic profile essential for stealth movement.

Droppable Payload System

Under each wing, SABR features a modular payload mount designed to carry and release mission-specific gear—ranging from sensor arrays and sonar buoys to survival packs and light weaponry. Payloads can be dropped manually or automatically, supporting dynamic mission profiles and minimizing onboard weight when needed.

Hydroplanes for Depth Control

Forward-mounted hydroplanes provide exceptional control over vertical positioning, allowing the pilot to ascend or descend smoothly and with precision. This makes it easier to maintain optimal depth for stealth travel, obstacle avoidance, and final approach to drop zones or insertion points.

Transparent Canopy

Unlike many military submersibles, SABR features a reinforced transparent canopy that gives the pilot and co-pilot exceptional forward and peripheral visibility. This enhances situational awareness and supports better coordination during approach, insertion, and navigation without compromising the vehicle’s low profile.

Compact Footprint for Versatile Deployment

SABR’s compact dimensions allow it to be launched from a wide variety of platforms—including RHIBs, ships, helicopters with sling systems, and even from larger submersibles—giving special forces unmatched flexibility in choosing insertion points.

Mission Modularity

The vehicle can be quickly configured with modular mission kits, allowing operators to tailor onboard systems (e.g., nav, comms, payload) to specific operational needs—saving time and increasing mission readiness.

Low Acoustic Signature

The propulsion system and hull design are optimized for minimal noise output, enabling SABR to operate in close proximity to targets without detection—ideal for covert surveillance or insertion missions.
