"Marlin-350" adopted for the supply of the Armed Forces
By order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation of 30 September 2015 of the year Marlin-350 remote controlled uninhabited vehicle (TNLA) adopted for the supply of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
Recall that in early March, the State tests (GI) of the apparatus, which were carried out in accordance with a specially developed program and methods, were successfully completed, according to their results, “Marlin-350”, developed and produced by specialists company "Tethys Pro", was recommended for acceptance for the supply of the Armed Forces.
The first stage of state tests took place in the city of Lomonosov at the experimental base of the Research Institute of Rescue and Underwater Technologies of the Naval Academy of the Navy, during which the completeness, technical condition, weight and size characteristics, sufficiency and quality of test equipment and tools were checked. In addition, the functionality and systems of the device were tested. In particular - measurements of the speed of movement of the underwater Robot march, lag and vertical movement, as a result of which it was concluded that the declared indicators fully correspond to the results shown during the tests.
In addition to the speed characteristics, the quality of the video camera, luminaires and video recorder was checked, various works were carried out using the TNPA manipulator, and performance was tested when using the underwater vehicle for its intended purpose.
At the second stage of the test, the Marlin-350 confirmed the declared characteristics and performance at the maximum possible depth - 350 m in Blue Bay, in Gelendzhik. As a result, the maximum depth of immersion achieved during the tests exceeded the declared figures and amounted to 354 m.
In the course of state tests, the commission was able not only to assess the performance of the Marlin-350 TNPA, but also to independently verify how easy it is to manage both in the submerged and on the surface. Marlin confirmed that it meets all the requirements of the Navy, and even surpasses them in some indicators. During the GI, the device has proven itself to be lightweight, mobile, maneuverable and reliable.
According to the results of the State tests, “Marlin” was assigned the letter “O1” RKD for putting the product into serial production. Already in 2016, the Navy will receive 5 remote-controlled underwater vehicles "Marlin-350".
The plans for the expansion of the NPA line are the creation of vehicles with a working depth of 600 and 1000 meters, as well as the start of mass production of autonomous, uninhabited underwater vehicles.
