Keys 4 Sea
The synthesis of many naval expertises
Keys4sea (K4S) is an engineering company that provides an interface between industrial capabilities and customer needs, particularly in the field of maritime drones.
In this sector, R&D requires the coordination of skills in fields as varied as robotics, mechanics, hydrodynamics, communications and many others.
What makes K4S unique is the way it brings together :
- Professional sailors, aware of the maritime fields "frictions"
- Engineers able to develop High-tech solutions
- Manufacturers proficient to build a reliable production
The tools developed in this way have a wide range of applications, for example:
- Maritime watch & off-shore business
- Environnemental measurs or area mapping
- Sea rescue in inaccessible areas
Since 2023 K4S holds a manufacturing, selling and intermediation authorisation (AFCI*) granted by the French Defence ministry.

Any question ?
The K4S founding team has been using, designing and manufacturing marine equipment for many years. We have come to realize how difficult it is for a manufacturer or an "inventor" to bring together all the expertise required to bring a project or an innovative idea to fruition.
Bringing together these skills and managing their collective effort is in itself a costly and time-consuming process. It is this rare know-how that K4S offers its customers
K4S takes mainly in charge the industrial project management, and also owns complete plans for "ready-to-build" support equipment that can be adapted as required and ordered from specialized yards, taking into account the payloads for which they are intended.
K4S specializes in the development and reliability of the carrier/payload assembly. It can build prototypes with the help of project partners.
K4S is then in a position to set up and manage the industrialization of the assembly in conjunction with the most appropriate manufacturers.
K4S is a partner for :
- an institution looking for a solution to carry out its mission at sea
- a naval industrialist looking for partners
- an inventor looking to make his invention operational
K4S provides the keys that enable a "paper" project to take to the sea without taking on water, and above all to be rapidly operational at the best cost to meet the needs of the end customer.
There are four such keys:
Design - Development - Industrialization - Marketing
The overall vision and coordinated management of each of these stages is a guarantee of success for the project designer and a guarantee of reliability for the customer.
As for the choice of english language, this is a "marketing" decision that meets the requirements of markets that are mostly international.
