IAI's BlueWhale ASW Makes Debut in Dynamic Messenger 2023 Exercise
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) announced that its BlueWhale ASW uncrewed submarine has participated, for the first time, in NATO’s Dynamic Messenger exercise, which took place in September.
BlueWhale ASW, developed by IAI subsidiary ELTA, is an autonomous submarine that can conduct some of the missions of manned submarines, without the need for operators at sea. It can operate for several weeks at a time and has minimal operating costs.
The uncrewed submarine is equipped with a variety of sensors, including a telescopic mast with radar and electro-optical sensors, and Atlas Elektronik’s towed array sonar. A transmitter developed by Atlas Elektronik, deployed from a crewed surface vessel, enables the bistatic location and tracking of sea targets by BlueWhale ASW.
According to IAI, BlueWhale ASW is the first of its kind in the world to be developed and can be a game changer in the future battlefield.
"The participation in the REMPUS exercise together with all NATO countries brings to light the leadership of the aerospace industry in the maritime sector as well, and reveals a touch of the joint work with NATO countries, whose leading systems of the aerospace industry are integrated into the various security bodies in its member states," commented IAI President and CEO, Boaz Levy.
