RAFAEL Unveils Protector Unmanned Surface Vehicle
RAFAEL Unveils Protector Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV)
04 June 2003 -- RAFAEL announces a new addition to its advanced, battle-proven naval combat systems. The Protector is an integrated naval combat system, based on unmanned, autonomous, remotely-controlled surface vehicles. Highly maneuverable and stealthy, the Protector can conduct a wide spectrum of critical missions, while eliminating unnecessary risk to personnel and capital assets.
The Protector's anti-terror mission module payload includes sensors and weapon systems. The search radar and the Toplite electro-optical (EO) pod serve for detection, identification and targeting. The weapon systems are based on RAFAEL's Typhoon remote-controlled, stabilized weapon station, capable of operating various small caliber guns. The stabilized weapon station is highly accurate, yielding excellent hit-and-kill probability.
The Protector is mission reconfigurable through its plug-and-play design, allowing utilization of various mission modules, such as Force protection Anti-terror surveillance and reconnaissance, Mine Warfare (MIW), Electronic Warfare ( EW) and precision strikes.
The Protector will be exhibited at the UV 2003 show in Paris - June 11-13.
