It carries an advanced navigation system (sonar) that allows it to avoid obstacles. According to the developers at Elbit, it could change the doctrine of anti-submarine warfare by using efficient means that replace manned vessels and reduce the risk to operators.

""We offer unmanned vessels for tasks that have been handled to date by expensive manned vessels.".
Elbit believes that there will also be demand for the vessel in question around the world.
There is currently an unmanned Rafale-made vessel in use by the Navy, but it is intended more for combat and observation, while Elbit's new vessel is also intended for anti-submarine warfare.
