The armored unmanned surface vessel (AUSV) and the unmanned anti-submarine warfare vehicle will be able to reach a maximum speed of 40 knots and will have a range of 600 nautical miles.

Aselsan already built a domestic and national Unmanned Surface Vessel, the ALBATROS-S Unmanned Sea Vehicle boat, able to move in droves.

Unmanned Surface Vessel Swarm, which can apply different navigation formations, has the ability to continue its mission against the decrease in the swarm by avoiding each other elements and obstacles (including moving obstacles).

Autonomous sharing of the given task among the swarm elements is made. The mission can be terminated autonomously with different maneuvers.

The approximately 7-meter (23-foot) long USV designed for herd missions has a speed of over 40 knots, a cruising range of over 200 nautical miles, an autonomy of more than 10 hours and a significant payload capacity of more than 250 kg.
