The route was loaded into the navigation system of "Strannik". The vessel traveled a distance of 140 km along the Tatar Strait from Nevelsk to Moneron without a crew. At the same time, the testers monitored the operation of the systems and telemetry readings.

The tests confirmed the high operability of our autonomous navigation system, which perfectly coped with the task, preventing the vessel from going astray.
