  "account": "Elbit Systems, a global provider of autonomous maritime solutions, will debut its Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) technologies at the Euronaval conference in Paris from November 3-6. The company's expansion into underwater capabilities stems from the recent acquisition of International Submarine Engineering Ltd. (ISE), a leader in autonomous underwater systems. ISE has delivered over 250 UUVs to customers in more than 20 nations.\n\nElbit Systems' new underwater offerings will complement its Seagull family of Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) and other naval solutions. While Seagull has been deployed since 2017 for patrol, reconnaissance, mine detection, and anti-submarine missions, underwater vehicles necessitate distinct technologies and a unique perspective. The combined UUV and USV architecture facilitates integrated operations between surface and underwater autonomous systems, as well as extended prospects for integrated manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T), where human and drone-style vehicles collaborate.\n\nElbit Systems' UUV portfolio now comprises modular Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) for intelligence gathering, mine countermeasure (MCM) operations, anti-submarine warfare (ASW), seabed mapping, and protection of critical maritime infrastructure and strategic assets. These systems support long-endurance autonomous operations and can integrate various payloads, including sonars, ISR systems, and mission-specific sensors. Elbit Systems' vertically integrated approach enables coordinated autonomous maritime formations tailored to evolving operational needs, supporting integrated mission planning, launch, recovery, and execution of coordinated surface and underwater missions.\n\nOren Sabag, General Manager of Elbit Systems' ISTAR & EW division, stated that the addition of UUV capabilities broadens the company's autonomous maritime portfolio and bolsters its capacity to offer customers a comprehensive operational solution encompassing surface and underwater autonomous systems, payloads, and mission management capabilities.",
