Research work completed in Russia (NIR) for the development of marine robotic complex “Surrogate”, capable of simulating atomic and non-nuclear submarines. The corresponding work was carried out by the Central Design Bureau of MT “Ruby” proactively, told the CEO in an interview with TASS “Ruby” Igor Vilnit.
According to the director “Ruby”, The Central Design Bureau on an initiative basis conducted research work on the development of a simulator of atomic and non-nuclear submarines under the name “Surrogate”. Research results communicated to the Ministry of Defense, The Central Design Bureau is waiting for the decision of the military department.
Currently research “Surrogate”, initiated by us, completed. The results of this work were brought to the attention of relevant organizations of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, consultations in progress
– he told the.
About, what “Ruby” started developing a submarine simulator, it became known back in 2016 year. As reported then, development of the Central Design Bureau designed for naval exercises, when attracting a real submarine distracts her from her main tasks, but it’s necessary to keep the teachings realistic. The proposed device due to the modularity of its design can simulate not only an atomic submarine, but also non-atomic. Besides, he can do mapping and reconnaissance.
According to the available information, imitator “Surrogate” equipped with lithium ion battery, providing training duration up to 15-16 hours. It is emphasized, that all this time he will reproduce the maneuvering of the submarine of his fleet or enemy, including at high speeds.
Previously announced specifications “The surrogate”: displacement – about 40 tonnes, cruising range – about 600 miles at a speed of 5 knots, full speed – over 24 knots, immersion depth – 600 m.
