The Armed Uncrewed Surface Vessel (AUSV) is built to act as a command and communications node for swarms of kamikaze boats. Naval News reports a stated range of 400 nautical miles, a speed above 35 knots and an internal bay rated for 1,000 kg. A model at the show carried eight tube-launched drones.

The earlier kamikaze boat destroyed a target at the Turkish Navy's Denizkurdu 2026 exercise in September. The new variant has only been shown as a model, and no sea trials of it are reported.
