Prtection from Swarm
Rafael Advanced Defense
Systems recently undertook a
demonstration of its Protector
USV (unmanned surface vessel)
for NATO navies.
The Protector
simulated the firing of a
precision-guided Spike missile
during a swarm attack by small
vessels. Taking place in Israeli
waters, the exercise involved
a NATO warship detecting
a swarming attack, relaying
the information to a control
Fast, Strong & Reliable
headquarters, which rapidly
launched a Protector. The USV
detected and identified the
swarm at long range, and one
of the vessels was selected for
simulated attack with a Spike.
During the demonstration
the Protector carried safety
personnel, but was operated
remotely.SA Artillery
