"Kalashnikov" proposed a project of a robotic vessel with drones on board
The Kalashnikov Concern presented to the Russian military a draft of an unmanned catamaran capable of carrying several tactical UAVs on board, according to News.
A new vessel is supposed to be developed within the framework of the target program “Creating advanced military robotics up to 2025 of the year” approved by the RF Ministry of Defense.
“The fully autonomous Triton system, the concept of which was proposed by the ZALA AeroGroup enterprise (part of the Kalashnikov concern), will be capable of conducting air, surface and underwater reconnaissance, as well as destroying targets using a remotely controlled weapon station equipped with a PKT caliber 7,62 machine gun, 750 mm. The ship will receive two XNUMX horsepower marine diesel engines and will have a range of XNUMX nautical miles. UAVs add another thirty kilometers to this radius, ”the newspaper writes, citing the developers.
“We are actively developing competencies in the field of creating unmanned vehicles. Our goal is to integrate them into systems, parts of which can interact with each other. In particular, the idea of an unmanned boat system based on which an unmanned aviation, lies in the fact that this system will be able to patrol the coastline and participate in search and rescue operations in a fully autonomous mode, " - said the general director of the concern Alexey Krivoruchko.
Judging by the engine power, the catamaran will be small - a few tens of meters. On board "will be placed an impressive arsenal of television, radio and sonar detection equipment of the enemy, which will not only monitor the surface, air and underwater situation in the patrol area, but also independently direct the enemy combat swimmers, helicopters and coast guard boats of the water area ", Noted in the article.
As for the UAVs (such as the quadrocopters of the ZALA 421-21 UAV), they belong to the class of tactical reconnaissance aircraft. Because of their small size, BLAH remain practically indistinguishable to the enemy and can carry out hidden radar or video surveillance.
