Testing of the Harpsichord-2 unmanned robotic complex (2Р52) began at the marine test site in Feodosia, News.

In the Crimea, began testing the underwater drone "Harpsichord-2"




The testing vessel of the 20360OS Victor Cherokov project is also involved in the tests.

The 2P52 complex is the second generation of a family of domestic autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicles.

“Outwardly, the device looks like a miniature submarine with a length of about 7 m and a diameter of about 1 m. It has a small ledge on top. Weight drone - about 4 tons. Immersion depth - up to 6000 m. It is believed that by increasing the size, it was possible to increase its autonomy, ”the newspaper writes.

It is reported that the new complexes should be part of the equipment of the modernized submarines of the 949AM project and the refurbished special purpose submarines of the 09787 BS-64 Moscow Region project.

This complex can inspect the bottom at great depths, which allows you to search and collect various items, such as fragments of ammunition. Also, the "Harpsichords" are able to conduct reconnaissance of the underwater situation, collect data on the bottom relief in the interests of ship groups or other robotic complexes,
told the naval expert Alexander Mozgovoy.

For testing, a section of the Crimean coast with unique hydrological properties is used: in the area of ​​an extinct volcano that has gone under water, a complex bottom landscape with large depths has been formed. It also conducts live firing and naval exercises of ships and submarines of the Black Sea Fleet.

            This complex can inspect the bottom at great depths, which allows you to search and collect various objects, such as debris of ammunition. The Harpsichords are also capable of reconnaissance of the underwater environment, collecting data on the bottom topography in the interests of ship groups or other robotic systems. This device, in my opinion, is more suitable for reconnaissance and rescue operations, so it is useless, expensive to push them into nuclear submarines in such quantities and not effective

              I do not think that Russia has a huge, almost daily need to create an apparatus for collecting fragments of ammunition at the deep sea. Most likely, the stated goals are very different from the actual goals.

          The speed of the first Harpsichord 2,9 node. Range less than 30 miles. The speed of this is about the same, since this one resembles the first. The battery charge is a little more. Let's say the range is now 60 miles. More than twenty hours to crawl.
          Apocalypse does not smell. The noodle smells.
          By the way, the day before yesterday, a drawing of Poseidon was posted. Compare. Or compare with the silhouette of the cartoon MO.

        To do this, there is Poseidon. Klavesin is a special drone for monitoring the bottom at great depths, that is, a scout. Its carriers will be special submarines.
        If desired, it may be possible to equip Harpsichord BZ, but why?

    Take it higher. What a grenade. Nuclear charge, no less. You read all these statements and it’s not clear whether the banter, or the people’s roof goes from euphoria and everywhere they only see the “wunderwaffe” in any mechanism.
    The people do not care that he has a range of approximately 50 miles, that is, less than 100 km. That speed of about 5 km / h - also do not care, the main "Cook" to remember.

      If there is a reactor the size of which allows it to be shoved into a cruise missile, then it will easily enter the dimensions of this device.
      Obviously, it runs software for Poseidon. It is unlikely that he will be more.
