Velter Cockleshell
The Precision Submarine Neutralizer
Submarine Killer
Engineered with cutting-edge British innovation, the Velter Cockleshell Submarine Killer is a next-generation maritime defence system designed to neutralize the submarine – not the crew.
Targeting critical external systems, the Velter Cockleshell disables enemy submarines by precision strikes on their rudder, propeller, periscope, masts, sail planes, ballistic missile tube hatches, and torpedo tube doors. This strategic approach renders hostile submarines immobile, blind, and unable to launch weapons—without breaching the pressure hull.
Key Advantages:
-
Targeted Disablement – Focuses on mission-critical appendages to end the threat without loss of life.
-
Flexible Deployment – Operates individually for pinpoint missions or in coordinated swarms for overwhelming effect.
-
Fleet Protection – Safeguards entire fleets of submarines and surface ships from covert undersea threats.
-
Cost-Effective Defence – Low-cost production and maintenance compared to traditional anti-submarine warfare systems.
-
British Engineering Excellence – Designed and built in the UK, combining proven maritime know-how with modern unmanned technology.
From covert harbour defence to open-sea protection, the Velter Cockleshell delivers a decisive advantage in undersea warfare—ensuring control of the depths while upholding the highest standards of operational ethics.
-
Autonomous Submarine Tracking: Uses AI-driven sonar and seabed-mapping systems to detect and follow enemy submarines silently across long distances.
-
Stealth Engagement Capability: Ultra-low acoustic signature and camouflage hull allow for undetected approach and strike beneath thermal layers.
-
Swarm Ambush Tactics: Multiple units operate in coordinated formations to surround, confuse, and trap hostile subs in narrow or shallow waters.
-
Persistent Underwater Surveillance: 365 day loiter time allows Velter Cockleshell to remain submerged and monitor strategic chokepoints or patrol lanes.
-
Smart Killer Integration (Top Secret): Equipped with modular kinetic payloads or decoy disruptors for direct kills or electronic interference against enemy propulsion and guidance.
-
AI Threat Prioritisation: Onboard Velter AI can autonomously assess, classify, and select high-value submarine targets without human intervention.
Velter Cockleshell – Subsea Guardian & Strike Weapon
The Velter Cockleshell is an autonomous underwater platform designed for dual roles: protecting allied submarines and executing precision attacks on enemy fleets.
In defence mode, it patrols in swarms, using AI-driven navigation and sonar tracking to detect, shadow, and deter threats before they can strike.
In attack mode, it hunts hostile vessels, targeting critical systems such as rudders and propellers to disable mobility and disrupt fleet operations. Deployed individually or in mass formations, Velter Cockleshell delivers stealth, precision, and overwhelming force when required.
A true force multiplier, it ensures undersea dominance—whether guarding the fleet or leading the attack.
The Velter Cockleshell is a next-generation autonomous subsea defence and strike platform, designed to safeguard allied submarines while delivering precision offensive capability against hostile naval forces.
As a defender, the Velter Cockleshell operates in protective swarms, patrolling the approaches to friendly ports, strategic sea lanes, and submarine patrol areas. Using advanced AI navigation, acoustic tracking, and terrain-mapping sonar, it detects and shadows potential threats long before they can engage. Acting as a silent shield, it can interpose itself between enemy forces and allied submarines, deterring attacks or neutralising incoming threats before they reach strike range.
As part of an attack force, Velter Cockleshell can switch to hunter-killer mode, deploying as an independent strike element or within a coordinated swarm. Its ability to infiltrate contested waters undetected allows it to strike critical ship components such as rudders, propellers, and sensor masts—crippling enemy vessels without requiring the destruction of the entire ship. When used en masse, multiple units can overwhelm and disable an entire fleet’s mobility, creating chaos and operational paralysis.
From coastal defence to offensive strike missions deep in enemy waters, the Velter Cockleshell represents a true force multiplier—one that redefines undersea warfare for the modern era.
Velter Cockleshell – Maritime Sanctions Enforcer
The Velter Cockleshell is an advanced autonomous subsea system designed to identify, track, and neutralise oil tankers and cargo vessels engaged in sanction-busting activities. Equipped with next-generation Velter AI and advanced maritime surveillance sensors, it can operate independently or in coordinated swarms across global shipping lanes.
Upon detecting a targeted vessel—such as an oil tanker or arms-carrying cargo ship in violation of international sanctions—the Velter Cockleshell engages a precision disabling strike on the ship’s rudder, propellers, and propulsion systems. This non-lethal interdiction prevents the vessel from continuing its journey, forcing it into port for inspection or impoundment.
By targeting the operational viability of sanction-busting ships rather than causing catastrophic damage, Velter Cockleshell disrupts illegal maritime trade at its financial core—making it unprofitable for shipping companies to engage in illicit activity.
The system’s dual-use capabilities also allow deployment for allied naval protection, commercial shipping defence, and environmental monitoring during peacetime. With sustainable power options under development, Velter Cockleshell is built for continuous global deployment, making it a game-changing tool in maritime security and international law enforcement.
Precision. Persistence. Power.
-
Sanctions Enforcement at Sea – Directly supports international security and compliance.
-
Non-Lethal Disruption – Damages mobility, not crews or cargo.
-
AI-Driven Target Identification – Ensures accuracy and minimises false engagements.
-
Continuous Global Patrol – Powered for long-duration autonomous operations.
-
Deterrence Effect – Raises the cost of sanction-busting, reducing violations.
The Velter Cockleshell represents a new class of subsea enforcement asset—one that operates 24/7, in any ocean, as part of a global network protecting maritime law and economic stability.
