GULL UAV: INTRODUCTION
Warrior is advanced in resolving many published navy and coastguard unmanned system challenges, that neither VTOL or ramp-launched systems can resolve. This is being achieved with a series of exceptionally versatile and seaworthy amphibious platforms. Warrior's strategy is to work with system integration companies to enable established supply chains to deliver these new capabilities.
The designs enable:
- GULL UAV series, payloads from 2 Kg upward, without limit
- Dual air and surface roles in any mission
- Easy organic use with minimal logistics
- Operation to and from land, shore, small vessel and large ship

The GULL does not need either a prepared airstrip or launch/recovery equipment, using its robust STOL capability for water or field operations.
The GULL increases the range of maritime surface operations and decreases the time to achieve them. Its ability to switch between aerial and surface roles both increase effectiveness and reduce costs of achieving current and extended maritime functions.
These capabilities remove requirements for costly multiple interconnected systems and enable front-line organic operation in almost any circumstances. They thus have very positive implications to the acquisition of an unmanned system, whether operated from inland, shore or ship.
