Титановый скелет, корпус из композита: ОСК показала подводный аппарат «Аргус» в действии

Developed by CDB "Rubin", it is already used for underwater exploration

The United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) has released images of underwater exploration using the unmanned "Argus" vehicle, developed at CDB "Rubin". It is a universal monitoring system designed to search for and develop underwater deposits.

In particular, "Argus" conducts underwater exploration of minerals, collects information about the structure of the seabed and the state of the aquatic environment, and finds a site suitable for laying a pipeline.

The average speed of "Argus" is up to 3 knots per hour, the maximum is up to 8 knots per hour. In autonomous mode, the underwater vehicle can stay for 24 hours at a depth of up to 6 km.

"Argus" was presented at the "Army-2023" forum in Kubinka near Moscow. It was reported that the skeleton of the vehicle is made of titanium, and its hull is made of composite material.

The underwater drone can perform work as part of a group of five vehicles. "Argus" can also be used in search operations.
