Developed in less than three years with technical and performance input from the Israeli Navy and Israel’s Ministry of Defense, Elbit Systems unveiled a prototype of. the Seagull USV that can complement or even replace expensive, manpower-intensive frigates or aircraft currently used to hunt submarines at sea. Seagull is a 12-meter USV with replaceable mission modules, with two vessels capable of being operated and controlled in concert using a single Mission Control System (MCS), from manned ships or from the shore.
The system provides unmanned end-to-end mine hunting operation taking the man out of the mine field. It provides mission planning, and on-line operation in known and unknown areas, including area survey, search, detection, classification, identification, neutralization and verification. It is equipped to search the entire water volume and operate underwater vehicles to identify and neutralize mines.
