MAINTENANCE LIGHT

Built on TKO’s patented electric drivetrain and motor technology, enabling a truly maintenance-light regime, long shelf life and rapid deployability.

ATTRITABLE

Designed for low unit cost, so SD250s can be fielded in numbers.
Pricing on request.

LOW SIGNATURE

TKO’s electric motors and drivetrains incorporate passive cooling technology to minimise thermal emissions and acoustic signature, enabling a reduced operational signature.

SD250 configurations

Variant

Configuration

SD250-B Base

Hull, drivetrain, propulsion. No sensors. Remote control.

SD250-N Navigator

TKO navigation sensor suite (selected COTS sensors) and autonomy

SD250-I ISR

Upgraded EO/IR and radar on an optional sensor mast up to 1.5 m

SD250-R Relay

Mesh communications relay

The SD250-B Base is the core vessel, under remote control. The Navigator and ISR configurations add TKO’s sensor suite; the Relay adds mesh communications.
