Specialists from the Fevzi Yakubov Crimean Engineering and Pedagogical University (KIPU) have developed a project for an unmanned sea-based aerial mother ship. Associate Professor Ervin Umerov spoke about the project details.
According to him, the boat's speed characteristics are on par with any known counterparts. Its power is sufficient for rapid position changes and suppression of the enemy.
The idea is that the unmanned boat has a compartment that opens upon reaching its destination. Drones fly out of it and then act according to their assigned tasks.
Recently, at the “Fleet-2026” naval exhibition in Kronstadt, a new project for an 11-meter high-speed unmanned boat with variable hydrofoils was showcased. The BEC can accelerate up to 48 knots — about 90 km/h.
