• The addition of UUV capabilities expands Elbit Systems’ integrated maritime autonomy portfolio across air, surface and underwater domains.

Haifa, Israel, October 29, 2026 – Elbit Systems Ltd. will present its Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) capabilities for the first time at Euronaval 2026, marking the expansion of the company’s autonomous maritime offering into the underwater domain.

The capabilities were added to Elbit Systems’ portfolio following the acquisition of International Submarine Engineering Ltd. (ISE), a provider of autonomous underwater systems that has delivered more than 250 underwater vehicles to customers in over 20 countries worldwide. The UUV solutions will be showcased alongside the company’s Seagull™ family of Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) and additional maritime solutions from Elbit Systems’ naval portfolio. The combined architecture enables integrated operations between underwater and surface autonomous systems in addition to extended opportunities for integrated manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) concepts.

The UUV portfolio includes modular Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) designed for missions such as intelligence gathering, mine countermeasure (MCM) operations, anti-submarine warfare (ASW), seabed mapping and protection of critical maritime infrastructure and strategic assets. The systems support long-endurance autonomous operations and integrate a range of payloads, including sonars, ISR systems and mission-specific sensors.

With more than 40 years of experience in autonomous systems, Elbit Systems has developed and fielded operational unmanned solutions across air, land and maritime domains. In the naval domain, the company has been active for more than a decade with mature unmanned maritime systems currently deployed by customers worldwide.

The expansion into the underwater domain strengthens Elbit Systems’ end-to-end maritime autonomy offering, combining UUVs, the Seagull family of USVs, mission systems, payloads, sonars, communications and autonomous mission management capabilities within a single operational architecture. The company’s vertically integrated approach enables coordinated autonomous maritime formations tailored to evolving operational requirements, supporting integrated mission planning, launch and recovery, as well as the execution of coordinated surface and underwater missions.

“Navies are increasingly looking for comprehensive autonomous solutions for complex maritime missions,” said Oren Sabag, General Manager of Elbit Systems ISTAR & EW. “The addition of UUV capabilities further expands our autonomous maritime portfolio and strengthens our ability to provide customers with a holistic operational solution spanning surface and underwater autonomous systems, payloads and mission management capabilities.”

At Euronaval 2026, Elbit Systems will showcase a range of autonomous maritime solutions designed to support modern naval operations and evolving maritime security challenges.
