MARLIN USV, developed by ASELSAN and Sefine Shipyards, has demonstrated its capability to autonomously detect and identify drifting mines with optics.

In addition to the recent UAV-USV teaming demonstration for the hard-kill of drifting mines which paired MARLIN with STM's UAVs, the USV has demonstrated its onboard detection and identification capabilities supported by AI, during the Innovation Continuum 2025 SHINE event held by NATO.

The demonstration included MARLIN's autonomous detection and identification of a drifting mine, supported by deep learning according to Anadolu Agency News' report.

Drifting mines in the Black Sea, due to their numbers and unpredictable routes, are regarded as a significant threat to civilian ships in the Black Sea.
