Israeli systems house Elbit Systems has successfully integrated an L3 Technologies Helicopter Long-Range Active Sonar (HELRAS) active low frequency dipping sonar into its Seagull multimission unmanned surface vehicle (USV).

The company announced on 7 February that the Israeli Navy had performed a sea acceptance test with the HELRAS-configured Seagull USV.

Seagull is a modular 12 m USV developed by Elbit for operation from either a mother ship or shore station. Designed for a mission endurance in excess of 96 hours, it marries a highly autonomous core command and control/situational awareness suite with modular payload packages tailored to specific missions including mine countermeasures (MCM), anti-submarine warfare (ASW), hydrography, electronic warfare, and maritime security.

HELRAS, which is deployed from a moonpool in the USV’s hull, is the latest sensor/effector payload to be integrated into the Seagull system. According to Elbit, operating a dipping sonar onboard a USV “significantly increases the operational working time and substantially enhances [ASW] detection capabilities and effectiveness”.
