Rafael’s AI-enhanced Next Generation Combat Vehicle Suite, SEA BREAKER System to Debut at DSEI 2021

Israeli firm Rafael announced today it will showcase Next Generation Combat Vehicle Suite (NGCV-S) and the recently unveiled SEA BREAKER maritime system at the DSEI Exhibition in London.

NGCV-S transforms any combat vehicle into a connected, well protected, optionally manned, lethal defense system. An array of sensors and cameras provide full situational awareness, automatic target recognition allow for threat detection and identification, and a complete video management system allows crew members to remain fully protection inside a closed-hatch cabin. DSEI marks the first showcase of this suite with its enhanced artificial intelligence architecture.

Unveiled in June 2021, Rafael’s SEA BREAKER is a 5th generation long-range autonomous precision guided missile system enabling significant attack performance against a variety of high-value maritime and land targets. By employing Rafael's legacy of high-end precision guided munitions, SEA BREAKER serves as a pinpoint, surgical force multiplier both on land and at sea. DSEI is the first time the system is being displayed at a global defense exhibition or outside Israel.

Aside of NGCV-S and SEA BREAKER system, the company will display Drone Dome counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) providing all-weather, 360-degree rapid defense against hostile drones. It can detect even small targets at distances over 3.5 km, intercepts and neutralizes with soft and hard kill measures, while inflicting minimal damage to the surrounding environment yet maximum safety to friendly aircraft.

Rafael will also display 5th generation SPIKE missiles, TROPHY active protection system (APS), advanced, tactical Broadband IP Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Software Defined Radio (SDR), and FIRE WEAVER networked system that connects all battlefield elements in real time, instantly selecting the most relevant shooter for every acquired target.
