Underwater vehicle

• UV is driven by pedal or electric drive.

• It is possible to install the combined electric drive of low power, if necessary.
  • UV dimensions:
  • Length - 3.5 m
  • Height - 1.2 m
  • Width - 2 m
  • Weight in air - 1.5 - 2 tons

  

• UV speed at surface and sea state up to 3 degrees is 2 to 5 knots (4-10 km/h).

• UV underwater speed at depth up to 30 meters under natural visibility conditions is 2 to 3 knots (4-6 km/h). UV overcomes undercurrents and lateral drift of smaller speeds.

• Continuous underwater operation of the vehicle is 4 hours maximum.

• The basic requirement to UV: safety of attending persons. The UV is outfitted with the following aids to ensure crew safety:
  • automatic (by depth transducer) and mechanical drive for release of emergency ballast of emergency surfacing system;
  • individual means of emergency surfacing;
  • automatic, electronic and visual positioning aids, communication aids and emergency signal aids.

• In surface and underwater position inside UV normal conditions for ability to live of crew are supported

• The number of controls is reduced to minimum: foot pedals and steering wheel, buttons and indicators, which may be audible.

• The number of onboard systems and the equipment is shown to a minimum and works, both in automatic, and in manual modes.

• The structure of UV hull is transparent to the maximum degree.

  

• UV has a high degree of maneuverability, speed ahead and astern, up-down, rotation around vertical axis, hovering and other evolutions.

• There is an option to ensure execution of simple repair on shore and upgrade and retrofit UV: ranging from the simplest and cheap version to VIP class.

• UV design and human engineering should approach design and human engineering of modern motor cars of small classes.

• It is possible updating of such vehicle on 2-6 passengers.

• UV is driven to the shore from garage on container trailers or motor car trailers.
