BEC "Heroes of the Mist" is planned to be used on the Northern Sea Route (NSR). The drone is designed to deliver goods to remote settlements in the region, including ZATO Ostrovnoy (a closed territorial-administrative formation in the Murmansk region).

On August 10, 1941, its crew discovered 3 fascist destroyers Z-4 "Richard Beitzen", Z-10 "Hans Lody" and Z-16 "Friedrich Eckoldt" and transmitted a radio message to the leadership of the Northern Fleet. The ship took fire and sank, but 37 of the 52 sailors were rescued.
