HELRAS 'Dipping Sonar' Onboard Seagull USV

In a Sea Acceptance Test (SAT) performed by the Israeli Navy, a Helicopter Long-Range Active Sonar (HELRAS) dipping sonar was successfully converted for operation onboard the Seagull, Elbit Systems’ Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV).Operating a dipping sonar onboard a USV significantly increases the operational working time and substantially enhances that detection capabilities and the effectiveness of Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW).The Seagull autonomous multi-mission USV features switchable, modular mission payload suites and can perform, in addition to ASW, Mine Countermeasure missions (MCM)

;100 percent impervious to all such attacks”, says a senior Israeli Naval officer in a press statement.   “The chances of a diver infiltrating the system are zero. The system is proven and constitutes a sea barrier for Israel,” the naval officer explained.    The Israeli Navy is currently installing the system along Israel's northern sea border, and has already installed it along the sea border with the Gaza Strip, Israel Hayom has learned.   AquaShield is essentially a sonar system built to detect divers and provide protection for vital infrastructure located
