The SeaViper 19.5 Patrol & Intercept Vessel by KND is a high-speed maritime security platform built with an aluminium planing hull and a matching aluminium wheelhouse superstructure. Engineered for coast guard, patrol, and tactical interception duties, this vessel measures 19.5 meters in length overall with a 4.7-meter beam and a shallow 0.55-meter draft. Operating under Bureau Veritas (BV) classification standards with HPi CE proof validation, the craft handles a maximum full-load displacement of 17.57 tons. The vessel’s general arrangement features an enclosed forward bridge, an open aft deck equipped with a central tactical gun mount, and a 2-day operational endurance baseline. Logistics support includes a 3,413-liter fuel capacity, 300 liters of fresh water, and 84 liters of waste water storage.

To maintain reliable cruising speeds during extended coastal patrols, the platform features a traditional shaft and propeller propulsion arrangement. The recommended powertrain utilizes twin engines generating a combined 1,600 hp of installed power (noted as $2\times 800\text{ hp}$). This configuration drives the patrol craft to a maximum speed of 35.6 knots and a steady cruising speed of 27.6 knots. At this cruise velocity, the system operates at a fuel burn rate of 192 liters per hour, securing an impressive operational range of 441 nautical miles at a full-load displacement of 17.57 tons.

The vessel’s comprehensive electronics network, weapon auxiliary systems, and crew amenities run on a dual 230 VAC and 48 VDC electrical power supply. This grid is heavily backed by a recommended 4,920 Ah house battery bank and a robust 15.4 kW / 19.2 KVA generator set, which powers an approximate 38,250 BTU/h air conditioning system to keep the enclosed bridge comfortable during high-stress deployments.

Helm operations are directed from a command bridge equipped with an advanced navigation pack centered on a large 16-inch multi-function display (MFD). This infrastructure is integrated via a unifying NMEA2000 backbone with a VHF DSC radio, AIS-B++, a radar system, an autopilot, and a 1 kW sonar. Legally mandated safety and tactical hardware complete the deck layout, 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. As is standard across the KND tactical range, these preliminary parameters represent concept-level estimates that remain subject to final design development and detailed engineering modifications.
