Swift Engineering Inc

Swift Engineering Inc. is a product development company based in San Clemente, California. Founded in 1983, the company has over 58 employees and generates approximately $20 million in annual revenue. Swift Engineering specializes in designing and building high-performance vehicles, with a particular focus on unmanned systems, autonomy, robotics, and advanced composites. Their expertise spans a wide range of applications, including space, aerospace, aeronautical, terrestrial, and underwater vehicles, serving both manned and unmanned, defense, and commercial sectors. One of Swift Engineering's notable achievements is the development of the Swift KillerBee, a runway-independent unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that transitioned from a 4-foot wingspan to a 10-foot wingspan with a 15-hour endurance and 60-pound payload capacity. This technology was eventually sold to Northrop Grumman, becoming the Northrop Bat. Swift Engineering continues to innovate with the Swift020, a UAV featuring X-Blade Technology™ that enables vertical takeoff and landing like a quad-rotor, transitioning to efficient fixed-wing flight without requiring additional launch and recovery equipment. This system serves diverse markets, including linear infrastructure, oil and gas, maritime, emergency services, delivery, agriculture, scientific research, surveillance, and military/defense.
