Navy Recognition: Euronaval Online 2020: Rafael presents its combat proven Protector USV Unmanned Surface Vessel
Originally designed for Maritime Security and Force Protection Missions the PROTECTOR can also carry a new variety of modules enabling it to perform naval dominance roles such as Precision Strikes and EW missions.
The PROTECTOR ® USV is based on a unique platform designed for high robustness and survivability. The design incorporates complete redundancy of sailing functions to provide a “never stranded at sea” policy.
The Rafael USV Protector is based on a 9-meter (30-foot) rigid-hulled inflatable boat. This USV is stealthy, fast, and highly maneuverable. The vessel's low profile upper structure is sealed and aerodynamic, and its modular platform design allows it to be reconfigured to meet changing mission requirements, such as force protection, anti-terror, surveillance and reconnaissance, mine and electronic warfare. The hull is a deep V-shaped planing hull, with the inflatable section providing stability and endurance. A single diesel engine drives water jets, allowing speeds of 50 knots (92.6 km/h; 57.5 mph).
