HAIFA, Israel, March 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Elbit
Systems introduces new technologies on-board the Seagull
Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) further enhancing its capability to
operate autonomously in a busy maritime environment and to overcome
communication challenges.
A 360-degrees Panoramic Video System with an Automatic Target
Recognition capability and a patented Automatic Navigation System,
complement the USV's Sense and Avoid capability, enabling the
vessel to operate in compliance with the International Regulations
for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972 (COLREGs). This enables the
Seagull USV to operate safely in dense harbors, at sea with heavy
traffic and autonomously complete missions even without
communications with the control station.
Seagull is a multi-mission USV that features a modular mission
payload suite supporting Anti-Submarine Warfare, Mine
Countermeasure missions, Electronic Warfare, Maritime Security,
underwater surveys and other missions using the same vessel,
mission control system and data links.
The Seagull USV is in service with the Israeli Navy since 2017
and is currently in the production and deployment phase
internationally.
