About the Seagull Unmanned Surface Vessel:

The Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capability provides the navy with a significant tactical advantage by effectively deterring and threatening enemy submarines using an available asset with significantly lower risk.

Featuring switchable, modular mission payload suites, Seagull can perform ASW and MCM, electronic warfare (EW), maritime security (MS), hydrography and other missions using the same vessels, mission control system and data links.

Drawing on decades of Elbit Systems’ unmanned systems experience and leadership, Seagull offers navies a true force multiplier. Seagull delivers enhanced performance to naval operations, reducing risk to human life and dramatically cutting procurement and operating costs.

About SKYLARK C:

SKYLARK C is a shipborne mini UAS designed for patrol boats and small vessel operations. The UAS is fully autonomous from launch to recovery and provides persistent surveillance with an EO/IR payload.

Based on the battle-proven Skylark I-LEX – with over 30 international customers and tens of thousands of operational sorties - the Skylark C transforms the land-based operational capabilities into an organic maritime ISTAR asset.

The Skylark C Point Water Recovery (PWR) feature, enabling fully automatic recovery on water, is the ultimate solution for Marine Corps, Special Forces and patrol boat operations.
