Silver Marlin and Stingray Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) incorporate Elbit Systems'
extensive experience in Naval systems and UAVs. In our systems the mission is the main
design driver. As in the UAVs, the USVs are designed to allow the operator to concentrate on
the mission rather than on driving the vessel. Elbit Systems' USVs are highly autonomous
featuring advanced obstacle avoidance capability and patented autonomous maneuvering in
compliance with rules of the sea.
The Silver Marlin systems are integrated on medium-sized USVs (~11 meter long) and the Stingray
systems are integrated on a small sized USV (3-5 Meter). These cutting edge USV Systems have
been developed to meet the need for an affordable, simple to deploy unmanned solution for maritime
tasks. Both of them are optimized for homeland security and coast guard applications, and are highly
adaptable to HLS and naval combat ISR missions.
The Silver Marlin systems are also designed to execute versatile long endurance missions. They
feature autonomous navigation and position keeping capabilities, cruise safety sensors and the
capability to transmit outputs of all on-board sensors to the mission control system. The systems
are optimal for numerous additional applications such as Law Enforcement, Force Protection, Anti-
Smuggling, Search and Rescue (SAR), and more.
Elbit Systems' USVs are fast, maneuverable vessels with extended autonomous capabilities. They are
controlled and monitored by a Mission Control Station (MCS) via a suite of advanced Data Links. The
Silver Marlin is capable of carrying a wide variety of payloads including Elbit Systems' Stabilized Day
and Night Naval Electro-Optic Payload (EOP), Maritime Radar, Small Caliber Remotely Controlled
naval Stabilized Weapon Station, and more.
