The SeaViper 18 Intercept Vessel by KND is an ultra-high-speed, tactical naval platform engineered with a lightweight aluminium planing hull and a matching aluminium superstructure. Specifically tailored for rapid interception, pursuit, and border enforcement operations, this narrow-profile craft measures 18.0 meters in length overall with a slim 4.1-meter beam and a 0.81-meter draft. Certified under the Grey Boat Code with Bureau Veritas (BV) and HPi CE proof validation, the interceptor handles a maximum full-load displacement of 16.3 tons. The vessel accommodates a tactical 6-person crew complement on a single-day endurance basis, backed by a compact internal logistics setup that holds 150 liters of fresh water and 42 liters of waste water storage.

To achieve exceptional tactical velocities and elite maneuverability, the platform relies on a high-performance Jet Drive propulsion arrangement drawing from an integrated 3,432-liter fuel capacity. The recommended powertrain features twin engines delivering an intense 2,200 hp of installed power (noted as $2\times 1,350$ hp). This configuration drives the vessel to a blistering maximum speed of 50.0 knots and maintains a high-velocity cruising speed of 48.4 knots. Operating at this rapid cruise velocity, the system maintains a fuel burn rate of 386 liters per hour to secure an operational range of 387 nautical miles.

The craft’s extensive tactical electronics and climate systems run on a dual 230 VAC and 48 VDC power supply network. This electrical grid is supported by a recommended 2,450 Ah house battery bank and an efficient 7.6 kW / 9.5 KVA generator set, which runs an approximate 18,000 BTU/h air conditioning system to keep the enclosed bridge comfortable during high-stress operations.

The helm is equipped with an advanced basic navigation pack centered on a large 16-inch multi-function display (MFD) integrated via an NMEA2000 backbone with a VHF DSC radio, AIS-B++, a 4 kW radar, an autopilot, and a 1 kW sonar. Essential safety, compliance, and tactical navigation gear rounds out the build, including a masthead light, stern light, sidelights, a magnetic compass, a sound signaling device, emergency flares, navigation charts, a GPS/chartplotter, a radar reflector, and a depth sounder. KND offers advanced mission-specific modifications under its optional extras, including ballistic protection, a fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) design option, and a surface drive propulsion alternative. As with all models in this series, these preliminary parameters represent concept-level estimates that remain subject to final design development and detailed engineering.
