An unmanned hydrographic drone "Kalan" has been developed in Sakhalin, which can be used for autonomous monitoring of water resources and hydrographic works.
The floating drone was developed in Korsakov by students of the Tekhnosfera Center for Technical Creativity of Youth under the leadership of Director Alexander Pyrkov.
It can be useful for studying the geological structure of a site in water crossings, creating maps of the depths of a reservoir, collecting soil or water for chemical analysis, and surveying underwater pipelines.
This is not just a toy, but a large project that we are creating together with children. We hope that our "Kalan" will be in demand by customers who conduct hydrographic work in the future.
However, as the Telegram channel "Bespilot" notes, there is also a second marine unmanned hydrographic vessel with the same name in Russia.
It can operate for up to 8 hours without recharging, sail up to 5 km away, and operate in autopilot mode up to 35 km from the operator. Various equipment can be attached to it: a multibeam echo sounder, a sound imager, a circular sonar, or a laser scanning system.
It was developed in 2022, and in 2023 it already worked during an expedition of the Northern Fleet and the Russian Geographical Society. The Moscow "Kalan" carried out a survey of the seabed in the Kola Bay. It was searching for "Boston"-type aircraft that crashed during the Great Patriotic War, and possible magnetic mines.
