Highland Systems from the UAE, introduced last year a small-sized submarine Kronos, trying to push his product to the global arms market. She proposed using the submarine to meet military needs at IDEX 2023, held in Abu Dhabi.
The submarine with a hydrodynamic hull was made of composite materials in order to reduce the area of the radar section. In motion, it can be driven by various types of power plants.: hybrid, diesel, battery or electric motor. The length of the submarine is 9 m, width 7,4 m, height 2 m. It has the maximum weight 10 tonnes.
According to the developer, the submarine has an innovative hull design, which significantly reduces fuel consumption, reduces speed limits and provides superior stability:
Kronos can maneuver like a fighter. It is proposed to use the submarine for special forces operations (landing capacity is 11 pers.), as a torpedo bomber or scout, equipping it with hydroacoustic systems, designed for anti-submarine warfare. used photos:Highland Systems
