Multi-mission autonomous surface vessel for mine countermeasures, ASW, and maritime patrol. AI-driven sensor fusion enables fully autonomous mine detection and neutralization.
Seagull USV uses a combination of sonar, magnetic anomaly detection, and environmental sensors that are processed by AI algorithms to classify underwater contacts with high confidence in cluttered coastal environments. The mine countermeasures mission represents one of the most hazardous naval operations for human crews, and Seagull's autonomous capability enables safe mine clearance without risk to sailors. Multiple NATO navies have evaluated Seagull as part of their mine countermeasures modernization programs, recognizing its potential to replace manned minehunter vessels.
