High-Speed Interceptor (HSI32)

Developed by the renowned French shipyard CMN in Cherbourg, the 32-meter-long High-Speed Interceptor (HSI32) has proven to be a true success story. The manned version of this highspeed vessel has already been delivered 64 times to international customers, underscoring the high demand and satisfaction.
But the future also lies in unmanned operations. The Unmanned High-Speed Interceptor 32 (UHSI32), an autonomously operating variant, was first demonstrated live off the coast of Cherbourg in 2022. Another impressive live presentation took place in June 2025, further fueling interest in this innovative technology.
The UHSI32 already received significant recognition in 2022 when it was awarded the title of the world's best unmanned maritime interceptor. This impressive testament to the technological excellence and future-oriented potential of this high-tech interceptor. Visit CMN NAVAL
