SVP develops a family of breakthrough defense and aerospace technologies, combining additive manufacturing, embedded sensing, and AI autonomy. Each system is modular, scalable, and dual-use, bridging the gap between advanced research and field-ready solutions.
SANTIAGO – TACTICAL ROCKET DEMONSTRATOR
AI guidance and SmartCore
propulsion in a tactical platform.
SANTIAGO is a next-generation tactical anti-missile system designed for autonomous engagement of air and surface threats. It integrates SVP’s patented SmartCore propulsion control with AI-driven targeting derived from LUIGI architecture.
The result is a modular, multi-role interceptor capable of rapid response, high maneuverability, and predictable performance across multiple engagement profiles. SANTIAGO is not a legacy missile program. It is an AI-native interceptor architecture built to scale with future threats.
_ SmartCore Propulsion
Actuator-free thrust vectoring.
_ AI-Driven Guidance
Adaptive navigation
and obstacle avoidance.
_ Launch Versatility
Deployable from
autonomous land vehicles.
“From lab to field:
a true demonstrator platform.”
“AI + SmartCore =
precision under any conditions.”
“Deployable from autonomous land vehicles
for flexible tactical operations.”
LUIGI – MICRO MISSILE INTERCEPTOR
Portable, affordable,
AI-guided counter-UxS.
LUIGI is an ultra-low-cost terminal interceptor designed to defeat drones at scale. LUIGI combines a compact micromissile with an AI-enabled, gimbal-stabilised turret for autonomous detection, tracking, and engagement. It operates in GPS-denied and jammed environments and intercepts targets in seconds, without relying on expensive radar or centralized fire-control systems.
By cutting interceptor cost by orders of magnitude compared to legacy SHORAD missiles, LUIGI makes saturation defence economically viable.
LUIGI integrates across land, naval, and airborne platforms to protect convoys, critical infrastructure, vessels, and forward bases. LUIGI is not a missile. It is a system designed for scale.
_ Compact & Portable
Sub-kilogram interceptor deployable
from UAVs or UGVs.
_ High Performance
Payload ≥150 g, 500–2500 m
range in seconds.
_ Cost-Effective Defense
Under €500 per shot.
“≤ 500 g, ≤ 300 mm: fits in your backpack or UAV bay.”
“AI-assisted targeting for high-probability intercept.”
“Ultra-low cost per engagement: defense at scale.”
SMARTCORE – INTELLIGENT NOZZLE
Actuator-free TVC
with embedded diagnostics.
SmartCore is an additive-manufactured propulsion nozzle with integrated FBG sensors and actuator-free thrust vector control.
Lightweight, reusable, and self-monitoring, it reduces cost and complexity while enabling predictive maintenance.
_ Structural Efficiency
_ Always-On Diagnostics
_ Actuator-Free Thrust Vectoring
_ Metal AM nozzle
with trabecular design
for lightweight, low-cost efficiency.
_ Embedded FBG sensors
for predictive maintenance.
_ Integrated control
without moving parts.
“Metal AM + trabecular design = lightweight efficiency.”
“Embedded sensors: proactive, not reactive.”
“Integrated TVC: precision without mechanical complexity.”
MDACS-X — MARITIME SWARM SYSTEM
Affordable, modular swarms
for defense and civil maritime security.
MDACS-X is a modular autonomous system designed for contested maritime environments. Built around a manned mothership, it coordinates swarms of unmanned surface, underwater, and aerial vehicles to deliver persistent ISR, resilient communications, and critical infrastructure protection in GPS- and EM-denied conditions.
Open architectures and NATO-compatible interfaces allow rapid mission reconfiguration and seamless integration with existing C2 frameworks. MDACS-X supports maritime security, A2/AD operations, and subsea infrastructure protection, with inherent dual-use applicability. MDACS-X is not a platform. It is a system-ofsystems designed for maritime resilience and scale.
_ Swarm Autonomy
AI-driven fleets with mission-sharing.
_ Resilient Operations
Robust communication
in contested waters.
_ Dual-Use Flexibility
Defense & civil maritime security.
“Hybrid mothership orchestrating
autonomous naval swarms.”
“Low-cost, scalable architecture
for defense and civil missions.”
“Deployable for coastal security
and joint operations.”
WASP-D – WAEPONIZED ADAPTIVE SMALL PAYLOAD DRONE
One platform. Multiple roles.
The platform supports flexible deployment, including mortar launch and UAV-borne release, enabling rapid coverage and forward positioning.
Designed to reduce logistics and training burden, WASP-D allows forces to adapt to changing threats without changing platforms. Not a single-mission drone, a modular combat system for dynamic battlefields.
“Modular micro-UAV for multi-role missions.”
