Russia has significantly increased the production of unmanned boats (BEC) for the Navy. Artificial intelligence will be used in the creation of new types of vessels, according to Nikolai Patrushev, Chairman of the Marine Board.
The Russian Navy is already equipped with unmanned boats. Their production has been significantly increased taking into account combat missions.
Patrushev added that the development of new types of BECs, surpassing foreign models in their performance, will be handled by a unified center of competence for the development of unmanned underwater vehicles and robotic systems for the Navy.
The necessary financial resources, as well as the best personnel — not only military, but also civilian, including from leading companies in the technology sector — will be involved in this work. It is planned to use artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies in the creation of new types of BECs.
Earlier, the president of the National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute," Mikhail Kovalchuk, stated that the mosquito fleet has significant advantages over large ships in terms of high maneuverability and, therefore, low vulnerability.
