Elbit Systems' Seagull USV was deployed during a joint Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) exercise of the Israeli and the French navies held recently in the Mediterranean. Under the Israeli Navy command, an ASW force that included two Israeli ASW vessels, a frigate and an ASW helicopter of the French Navy and the Seagull, performed ASW missions against an Israeli submarine.
The joint force has simultaneously operated manned and unmanned surface and airborne vessels, practicing advanced means and tactics for submarine detection and deterrence.
In addition to ASW capabilities, the Seagull features switchable, modular mission payload suites and can perform Mines Counter Measures (MCM) missions, Electronic Warfare (EW), Maritime Security (MS), Hydrography and other missions using the same vessel, mission control system and data links.
