B – 7: READY FOR SURVEILLANCE, MISSION CAPABLE

Sophisticated USV users clearly understand the responsibilities and requirements in the adoption and applications of the technology as it rises to all the challenges in today's complex global landscape. With the B-7 supporting stability for economic and security related challenges; assuring freedom of passage by securing sea and air lines of communication. These and other missions call for a USV that is fully capable of defending nations and private assets around the world. The B-7 is the leading USV that meets this stringent capability and requirement:

• Unrefueled Surveillance Range: Exceeding 800 Nautical Miles
• All-Weather, Day or Night Precision
• Aids in Air to Surface Precision Munitions
• Highest Technology Ground Station and Range Boosters
• High Survivability Achieved Through a Combination of Low Radar Cross Section
• Minimum Operation and Support Costs
• Low Manpower Requirements

B-7: ANY MISSION, ANYTIME

No other international multirole Unmanned Vessel meets customized capabilities, requirements and the responsibilities needed by any maritime survey or surveillance mission around the world. The B-7 has the capability to perform any mission, anytime. Coastal Defense Maritime interdiction. Whatever the mission, the B-7 performs. No other multirole USV has been designed to be used for almost any maritime surveillance requirement. New precision Global Positioning System (GPS)-Guided waypoint capable – provide the B-7 the capability to suppress and deter any threat to coastal assets.

Water to Air

The onboard Camera surveillance system allows live feedback for any friendly aircraft to view in real-time what the USV camera can see on water.

Deep Interdiction

The high fuel efficiency and low cruise drag of the B-7 provide range/payload performance that is unmatchable by any USV or manned vessel.

Maritime Interdiction

Monitoring the coastline, protecting sea lanes and ports and guiding ships in pirate-infested waters.

Advanced Ground Station

Color multifunction displays provide the primary interface with sensors and added integrated third party hardware such as Sonars or weapons and give the pilot exceptional awareness of the battle space through tactical situation formats.

Advanced Autopilot

Auto throttle modes and multi waypoint Modes along with many other modes that are incorporated in the B-7 decrease pilot workload. With an Automatic return to home feature that enables the boat to return to a location that is set by the Pilot as a fail safe option.

Affordability

Protecting Budgets and Borders. It might be said that no price tag can be put on the importance of national defense. Yet the reality is this: budgets and borders are both important – another reason the B-7 is favored. Today's most capable, best value USV is also the most affordable in terms of procurement and operational lifecycle costs.
