Livyatan is a small unmanned surface vehicle (USV) developed by the Israeli firm Ex-Sight. The craft features autonomous navigation, enabled by a Laser Line Collision Detector (LLCD) which emits a constant laser ray with a range of approximately 40m in order to detect obstacles along the USV’s route. The Sectorial Collision Detector (SCD) emits invisible high-frequency laser beams covering a 2D 110 degrees virtual sector, which allows the USV to maneuver, change speed or course as required to avoid obstacles.
The 3.25 meter long vessel features a Rotax® 1503 SCIC 4-TEC® engine, giving it a maximum range of 198 km at 45 km/hour and a top speed of 88 km/hour.
The USV has two day/night cameras. The SAFEDRIVE SD640-9mm day/thermal vision sensor can recognize a human out to 85 meters.

- Reconnaissance & Surveillance
