The boat will be part of a research vessel for studying the Arctic. "Kambala" will tow a remotely operated sonar to study the seabed and work in tandem with an autonomous underwater vehicle. It can be used to organize the landing of a crew on an ice floe.

The boat's crew consists of 6 people. The hull is designed to be able to navigate through broken ice.
