A remotely operated weapon station armed with a 12.7mm heavy machine gun is mounted at the front of the vessel used for its self-protection. The Seagull can carry a wide range of payload systems including navigation, sailing and safety suite, electro-optical (EO) / infrared (IR) sensors, side scan sonar or synthetic aperture sonar (SAS), forward looking sonar or multibeam echo sounder, diver detection sonar and dipping sonar. Seagull is a 12m boat made of aluminium and composite materials. The boat incorporates removable floats and bridge dynamic positioning system, and can be configured according to the customer's requirements. Drawing on decades of Elbit Systems' unmanned systems experience and leadership, the Seagull offers naval forces a true force multiplier delivering enhanced performance to naval operations, reducing risk to human life and dramatically cutting procurement and operating costs. |
