Employees of the Military Training and Scientific Center of the Navy (VUNC Navy) "Naval Academy named after Kuznetsov" have created an autonomous unmanned underwater vehicle. The drone is designed to rescue submariners.
The design of the drone allows it to be dropped from the board of a heavy military transport aircraft Il-76 into the area of a submarine in distress, according to the patent description. The device will be able to find the submarine and dock with it, take sailors into the rescue compartment, undock and surface. Then the underwater drone will be evacuated by naval aviation aircraft.
Features of the development:
- evacuation of up to 6 people
- availability of a hardware and software complex with the function of building a 3D model of the seabed
- remote control
The product will reduce the time for evacuation and increase the likelihood of rescuing sailors from an emergency submarine, the patent says.
