Elbit Systems Continues to Expand its Multi-Layered Naval Protection Capabilities to Counter Unmanned and Underwater Threats
Combining electronic warfare, Counter-UxS, kinetic defense and underwater sensing into an integrated naval protection suite
Haifa, Israel, Nov 3, 2026. Elbit Systems Ltd continues to expand its multi-layered naval protection suite. The suite reflects evolving naval protection requirements, addressing emerging unmanned systems and underwater threats.
As naval forces face increasingly complex operational environments, Elbit Systems offers an integrated protection approach combining electronic warfare, Counter-UxS technologies, kinetic defense and underwater sensing capabilities into a unified naval protection suite. The portfolio’s modular architecture enables customers to deploy standalone capabilities or integrated multi-layered solutions according to operational requirements.
Multi-Layered Naval Protection Portfolio
The portfolio includes Elbit Systems’ Aqua Marine naval electronic warfare solutions and DESEAVER Mk-4 countermeasure dispensing system, providing threat detection and electronic self-protection against radar-guided threats. These are complemented by the company’s GNSS jamming and spoofing solution, supporting non-kinetic disruption capabilities against navigation-dependent threats.
To address the growing threat posed by unmanned systems, Elbit Systems integrates counter-UAS capabilities combining the company’s DAiR radar, electro-optical sensors, electronic warfare and GNSS disruption technologies for detecting, tracking and disrupting aerial threats. These capabilities are complemented by kinetic defense solutions, based on the company’s 30mm highly accurate Naval Surface Gun and SkyBurst 30mm counter-UAS proximity fuse ammunition.
The suite also incorporates electro-optical systems from the SPECTRO XR family for maritime surveillance and target tracking, alongside naval weapon stations providing defensive firepower against surface and airborne threats.
Extending protection beneath the surface, Elbit Systems’ underwater portfolio includes the TRAPS (Towed Reelable Active Passive Sonar) family of sonars, supporting submarine and torpedo detection as well as Hull Mounted Sonar (HMS) capabilities, enhancing the overall naval protection envelope
Together, these capabilities provide an integrated and scalable multi-domain protection suite designed to address current and emerging maritime threats.
Elbit Systems’ Maritime Portfolio
Elbit Systems offers a comprehensive portfolio of advanced maritime defense solutions, addressing the evolving operational needs of naval forces across surface, subsurface, airborne and coastal environments. Its solutions support manned, unmanned and autonomous operations across multiple domains. The company’s maritime portfolio spans naval combat management and C4I systems, electronic warfare, intelligence and self-protection systems, electro-optical systems, naval communications, weapon systems and precision munitions, unmanned and autonomous platforms, sonar and underwater warfare solutions, as well as maritime surveillance and coastal protection. Leveraging its expertise in systems integration and multi-domain technologies, Elbit Systems delivers both standalone solutions and integrated capabilities, tailored to the requirements of modern naval forces and adaptable to new and existing platforms.
Elbit Systems is participating in Euronaval 2026 in Paris, France, where it is showcasing maritime defense solutions.
