The Shadowhawk 14 S Patrol & Intercept Vessel by KND is an ultra-high-speed, specialized tactical platform engineered with an aluminium planing hull and a minimalist open console superstructure. Purpose-built for high-velocity pursuit, clandestine operations, and rapid troop insertion, this aggressive monohull measures 13.3 meters in length overall with a slender 3.22-meter beam and a 0.64-meter draft. Certified under the Grey Boat Code and Bureau Veritas (BV) classification standards with HPi CE proof validation, the platform handles a maximum full-load displacement of 9.62 tons.

The deck configuration is explicitly optimized to support a 12-person troop and crew complement on a single-day endurance basis. Its open deck plan features an array of specialized shock-mitigation seating layout arrays—including dual rows of forward-facing bench seats in the bow section, specialized centerline crew seating abaft the steering console, and a clear tactical boarding area. To maximize speed, shed dead weight, and focus strictly on rapid intercept windows, the platform completely omits onboard fresh water and waste water holding tanks ($0\text{ L}$).

To achieve exceptional, intercept-level tactical velocities, the platform utilizes a high-performance Surface Drive propulsion arrangement drawing from an integrated 1,804-liter fuel capacity. The recommended powertrain relies on twin high-output engines delivering a combined 1,780 hp of installed power (noted as $2\times 890\text{ hp}$). This surface-piercing drive setup pushes the interceptor to a blistering maximum speed of 68.5 knots and sustains an intense cruising speed of 53.1 knots. Running at this rapid cruise velocity, the system maintains a fuel burn rate of 202.9 liters per hour to secure an impressive operational range of 425 nautical miles at its full 9.62-ton displacement.

The vessel’s tactical electronics grid and onboard service systems run on a dual 230 VAC and 48 VDC electrical power supply network. Reflecting its lean operational mission profile, the electrical system is supported by a compact, recommended 250 Ah house battery bank and explicitly omits an auxiliary generator set (genset) and air conditioning system.

The open command console is equipped with a high-reliability basic navigation pack centered on a 12-inch multi-function display (MFD). This bridge core integrates a VHF DSC radio, AIS-B transponder, an autopilot system, a 600 W sonar, and a radar system fitted with an 18- or 24-inch dome. Standard legally mandated maritime safety and navigation equipment completes the console build, including a masthead light, stern light, sidelights, a magnetic compass, a sound signaling device, a VHF radio, emergency flares, and navigation charts. In accordance with KND’s standard technical documentation, these preliminary parameters represent concept-level estimates that remain subject to change during final design development and detailed engineering modifications.
