Combined Instrument Making Corporation (DIC, is a Rostec) has created an underwater robotic vehicle (PRA) "Glider-T" with the functions of electronic warfare (EW) and orientation at depth without the help of GLONASS, told RIA Novosti, the representative of the corporation.
"The unit will be able to determine the type of passing ships on the sound solve problems EW simulate decoys obstruct the sonars and other sonar devices of the enemy," - said the international military-technical forum "Army-2015", which was represented by the novelty .
As explained by the representative of the defense industry, "Glayler-T" can be operated in standalone mode up to 180 days, both individually and as a group, a route without human intervention. "Our know-how - a technology that allows" glider "to focus on the depth without the GLONASS signals are not available, as is well known, under the water," - he explained.
A complete set of specific functions and the necessary equipment on board is installed on the machine by the customer: it is a different instrumentation, sensors, and sensors. "He can patrol certain waters, implement sampling of water and determine the level of contamination, take photographs of objects transmit information to computer equipment via GSM-modem, radio or satellite communication", - he added.
"Glider" was developed by the Moscow Design Bureau "Compass" and constructed of heavy-duty and relatively lightweight material, resistant to sea water and oil. It is equipped with an innovative engine, which allows the machine to move seamlessly to modern means of detection.
Technical Reference
"Glider-T" is designed for various research tasks at any time of the year m waters without ice in all weather conditions. The unit with the equipment for different purposes able to navigate through the program, and perform using modern materials and technologies.
The body of the underwater robot is made of heavy-duty and relatively lightweight material, resistant to sea water and oil. The original drive is based on the motor and mechanical actuator has no external mechanical moving parts, which provides a high stealth detection by means of radio and sonar.
The device can move in the water and change direction commands for which transmission can be performed in several ways. "Glider-T" can be used independently, or as part of a group of similar devices that solve the same or different tasks depending on the goals.
The device is capable of operating up to a depth of 100 m and moving at speeds up to 0.25 m / s with a payload up to 3 liters. With dimensions 1,5h1,5h0,3 m and a diameter of 200 mm autonomous body of the apparatus reaches 180 days. The movement of the apparatus along the route is carried out using an inertial control system, which automatically pops up and clarify his whereabouts.

No external moving parts just means no propeller... likely a water jet propulsion...
KURSK, June 29. /Corr. TASS Vladimir Shumakov/. Scientists at southwest state University (SWSU, Kursk) has begun testing unmanned underwater robot scout, who can take on the work of divers emergencies Ministry and the army said on Monday, TASS head of robotics laboratory at swsu, Ph. D. Andrew Yatsun.
Kursk scientists will begin mass production of unmanned underwater robots-scouts
"Go full-scale tests. Collected management system, created the whole structure, " said Yatsun. - Tested in the pool. We can say that the speed of 4 m/s, this is a very good indicator."
According to the scientist, the cost of the prototype is about 1 million rubles, which is 5-6 times lower than the cost of foreign analogues. The apparatus can be made even cheaper if you start producing it commercially. With our local scientists are ready to begin serial production in the autumn, upon completion of all tests.
The robot length of about 1.5 meters and a weight of 40 kg will be able to travel underwater at speeds up to 4 m/s and for 4 hours to carry out exploration at depths up to 30 meters with the camera, sensors for environmental monitoring, magnetic field and other equipment. He is able to deliver under water small loads. All this can happen without human intervention, thanks to the sensors of the depth and location of obstacles. The main task is the execution of the work of divers MOE and the Ministry of defense, as well as underwater work, for example, in the diagnosis of dams, or when monitoring of cooling ponds of nuclear power plants.
Complete robot may vary based on the specific needs of the customer. "We create media. Do body, all electronics, control system, camera - all basic "filling". If the customer wants to put some kind of radar, we additionally put. Depending on specific tasks," said Yatsun.
Pocket drone for scouts and backpackers have developed a robotics Ural
Scientist noted that the Russian analogues of small Autonomous underwater robots-scouts with similar characteristics on the market now. There are a number of universities and companies that produce underwater vehicles of large dimensions, including in Moscow, Vladivostok and St. Petersburg. Development of the Kursk University will take its place due to the low price and the best technical characteristics, I am sure Yatsun.
Research laboratory of robotics at SWSU, including the rapid prototyping center FABLAB, was opened by the grant of Russian science Foundation, which won the University. Funding amounted to about 20 million rubles. Among the projects on which scientists work - exoskeletons consumer, medical, industrial and military applications, wheeled robotic explorers and the establishment of the domestic counterparts of actuators for robotics.

You have to embellish to make it sell
correct me if i am wrong pls but water jet has propeller but still there are are moving parts inside hull so MHD is only option if journo knew what he was describing but my educated guess is that you are correct

You are correct... if it said no moving parts inside or outside the drone then it would have to be something like MHD, but it does not say that. It says there are no moving parts outside the drone but it does not say there are no moving parts inside it.
GarryB wrote:
BTW nice interesting thread....
BTW MHD - is very silent question -energy source if solved then voila silent sub drones...
Thx but I am only a humble contributor not founder of this threat

Russia produces unmanned submarine with powerful nuclear warheads to destroy the bases of the US strategic submarines and other important facilities on the coast, says Washington Times, citing sources in the Pentagon. The US military development codenamed Kanyon.

According to the US military, it will shock the submarine without crew, armed with a thermonuclear warhead capacity "in the tens of megatons," the ability to quickly and discreetly travel long distances.
- The United States is very closely monitoring the efforts of the Russian nuclear modernization. However, these works are not particularly worried, are still under the Treaty on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, - the former head of the US Strategic Command, Robert Koehler.
The publication notes that the development of underwater drones are actively conducted in the United States. Pentagon attaches particular importance to this research.
Recall that in late August, the US military experts have expressed concern about the appearance at the Russian submarine with a great fighting potential but uncertain destiny. It's about "Moscow", nuclear submarines withdrawn from shops shipyard "Star" after the upgrade.
During the reconstruction of the strategic submarine turned into a base for a mini-submarine. The submarine received a compartment filled with equipment for underwater operations and docking port on the bottom.
"For what purpose was created Whatever the submarine, it could become what American observers are not even able to imagine" - says military analyst David Ex.

Cheap hysteria-generating propaganda. As if Russia's maneuverable warheads can be intercepted by any ABM the use has deployed.
We are back to the 1950s and soon poor, dear US children will be hiding under desks.

Cruise missiles/ballistic with nuclear warheads or not.. have the problem is that they can only be used when the submarine or bomber is near US coast. This drones are like mobile mines..that you can stealthy deploy in US coast ,they are difficult to detect in the immense ocean..airforce cannot detect it.. Warships /Submarines needs to be close to detect it and it will be hard to intercept it ..if the unmanned drone notice warships near or submarines and turn off..

US is developing prompt global strike - so relying on ICBMs is also risky, enough number can be disabled before launching retaliatory strike combined with ABMs can make Russia's response in area of "acceptable damage". Then we get to 3 WW.
Besides maintenance costs of hundreds of applied missiles. No this subs is kinda equivalent of nuked cruise missiles in Germany, Poland or Latvia. And yes when US kids will spend more time under tables maybe they learn to value peace more then today when US seems to be safe-heaven .
