Free Ship — Always Protecting
Autonomous modular protection systems for the civil fleet. Container-deployed defense against modern piracy, drone attacks, and asymmetric maritime threats.
Modern Piracy & Asymmetric Warfare
Total cost of vessel ransoms, crew recovery, and armed escorts in dangerous waters — a burden absorbed by owners, insurers, and global trade.
A billion-dollar criminal industry
Maritime piracy today is a brutal, high-profit enterprise costing the global economy billions of dollars annually.
The crisis is intensifying
Between 2024 and 2026 geopolitical instability has driven a sharp escalation of attacks across critical shipping lanes.
Asymmetric drone-era tactics
Cheap high-speed boats and aerial or surface attack drones leave unarmed commercial vessels virtually defenseless.
Comprehensive Vessel Security
Technical Equipment
Onboard installation of advanced kinetic and reconnaissance drones, proprietary radar stations, and jam-resistant communication systems.
24/7 Command & Control
Round-the-clock remote monitoring and operational management of defense systems from secure command posts in Ukraine and Poland.
Escort Service
Escort-as-a-Service: rapid onboard deployment for the duration of transit through high-risk areas, including full technical mission support.
A Full Protection Stack
Free Ship delivers a comprehensive vessel protection solution against piracy — combining sensors, effectors, and secure command in one modular system.
- Attack drones (kinetic)
- Reconnaissance drones
- Electronic warfare (EW) systems
- Encrypted command signal relay systems
- Encrypted communication links via Starlink satellites
- Secure command centers in Ukraine and Poland, staffed by experienced drone operators
- 24/7 dispatch and service centers supporting Free Ship installations
FS-Container System
Autonomy & Rapid Deployment
The system is built into a standard ISO container and can be rapidly installed on the twist locks of virtually any commercial vessel — no structural modifications required.
It is equipped with vertical launch cells for the immediate release of kinetic interceptors, a 360-degree surveillance radar, an onboard power generator, and a satellite communications suite.
System operation is managed remotely by experienced operators via an encrypted satellite communication link.
Main Advantages
Ukrainian Pilots — Our Main Asset
Unmanned systems operators with colossal, real combat experience and thousands of flight hours in harsh electronic warfare environments.
Private Secure Channel
Encrypted satellite link network that guarantees the control system's resilience against hacking and EW jamming attempts.
Advanced Kinetic Drones
Neutralization of high-speed and maneuverable threats directly in the air or on the water at a safe distance — from 5 km and beyond.
System Deployment Stages
Analysis of vessel drawings, selection of the container installation site, and determination of the optimal configuration.
Configuring communication frequencies, calibrating radar systems, and preparing UAVs for the vessel's planned route.
Installation and securing of the container at the port of departure.
Round-the-clock monitoring and active vessel escort during transit through high-risk maritime areas.
