XSMG World is a privately owned, British boat design and manufacturing company focused on producing a range of award winning and market leading very high speed light craft for the global military market. XSMG works in collaboration with global systems suppliers Thales, QinetiQ, Kongsberg, Ullman and Flir to equip the vessels with state of the art technology, weaponry and communications systems which are the key demands of government agencies, different special forces groups and marine end users in today’s complex combat arena.

The XSR vessels range in length from 9m to 25m and are created and built to perform multiple roles in Interception, Interdiction, Insertion and Special Projects. They are lighter, faster, stronger and has greater capacity and endurance than any other vessel in its class. Fully systems integrated, and equipped with some of its major systems options, it will perform in the most exacting conditions, providing a unique and effective solution to waterborne threats.

It has a significant role to play in modern Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIOPS) including maritime terrorism, illegal immigration, drug smuggling, piracy, border penetration and offshore critical asset protection. It is one of the most covert, powerful and ultimately capable high speed marine platforms available in the world today.

Originally conceived from an innate understanding of speed, endurance and human comfort gained from XSMG CEO’s 20 year career in powerboat racing, designed through collaboration with a multiple of world leading marine design agencies, put together by a team of highly skilled engineers, and tested to its limits by UK Special Boat Services (SBS) personnel, the platform is built to detect, deter, identify, intercept and resolve more targets more effectively, efficiently, and in less time, per mission.

Equipped to remain on station with a crew of 4 systems operators and up to 20 troops (depending on selected vessel size and configuration) the boat can track a threat covertly for 24 to 72 hours, with a range of 600-1000nm. Powered by 2 or 3 inboard diesel engines with water jets or surface drives, it is capable of 60 to 80 knots.

The XSR has defined new operational horizons for governmental and defence organisations in the maritime arena and is produced by a company whose philosophy is to stay at the leading edge of design and technology, and to continue to drive higher levels of mission success for its clients around the world.
