The vessel is equipped with various payloads (including electro-optical), communication systems, radio (Line of Site, LOS, or NLOS), radar and optional weapon systems. The Protector is projected as an 'integrated naval combat system' based on unmanned, autonomous, remotely controlled highly manoeuverable and stealthysurface vehicles.

The search radar and the Toplite electro-optical (EO) pod enable detection, identification and targeting operations. The weapon systems are based on Rafael's Typhoon remote-controlled, stabilized weapon station, capable of operating various small caliber guns.
