This high-speed, experimental vessel will test a variety of technologies that will allow the Navy to operate more effectively in littoral, or near-shore, waters.
Sea Fighter will be used to evaluate the hydrodynamic performance, structural behavior, mission flexibility, and propulsion system efficiency of high-speed vessels, and will also serve as a test bed for developmental mission packages.
It will serve as a risk reduction, experimental vessel for the Littoral Combat Ship and Coast Guard’s Deepwater Program concept of operation development at sea.
