The deep-sea silent unmanned glider "Sea Shadow", capable of overcoming underwater currents, has been successfully tested in the Baltic Sea, Igor Kozhemyakin, head of the defense research and development department of the St. Petersburg State Medical University, told RIA Novosti.
The drone was tested by the Main Research and Testing Center for Robotics (GNIITs MO) and the St. Petersburg State Marine Technical University (SPbGMTU).
“In August, we conducted another successful test of the Sea Shadow glider in the Baltic Sea. The new hybrid modification of the apparatus is capable of overcoming currents due to the propeller. At the same time, it is practically impossible to track the glider - it moves practically without creating noise, ”Kozhemyakin said.
According to him, during the tests, the glider worked both in closed waters and in the open sea in the currents zone, which is "a serious test for a device that does not have a propulsion system." He also noted that "Sea Shadow" differs from previous versions in more "realistic characteristics, control precision and an expanded set of payloads."
Glider is an autonomous unmanned underwater vehicle propelled by hydrodynamic forces due to changes in buoyancy. Gliders move along a specific "sawtooth" trajectory in a given range of depths.
The device is capable of autonomous navigation for up to six months, transmitting hydrographic information to the shore. At the same time, it is almost impossible to track the glider - it moves due to a change in its buoyancy, practically without creating noise.
The "Sea Shadow" was developed by the St. Petersburg State Marine Technical University and the St. Petersburg Scientific and Production Enterprise of Underwater Technologies "Oceanos". In August, at the Army-2017 exhibition-forum, the glider was presented to the public as part of the exposition of the main research center of robotics of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (GNIITs RT).
On the this moment SRITS RT considers gliders as a possible system for the exploration of the World Ocean, whose tasks include determining the hydrophysical parameters of depths, hydrometeorological, hydrological and acoustic and ecological parameters of the coastal shelf.
The vehicle is 3 meters long, 31 centimeters in diameter, weighs 150 kilograms, the maximum speed is 2 knots, and the payload weighs 15 kilograms. The complex includes a research glider, a glider-carrier of mini-vehicles, a glider-relay, a ship's control center, as well as relay means.
SPbGMTU together with JSC "NPP PT" Okeanos "conducts various experiments to saturate the glider with various information systems and sensors, including third-party manufacturers, and the ability to transport AUV class "micro".

Status
2017.06.28. The new items have more different payloads, control precision and a number of characteristics have also increased. In particular, the robot's software has been improved. Department of Navigation and Oceanography - selected as the ordering department of the RF Ministry of Defense.
Development since 2012. Tests in the Gulf of Finland were completed at the end of October 2016. It was tested with radioisotope and thermogenerating power modules. A modified version is being developed - Glider 2.1, which will move, both due to the principle of underwater planning, and due to a folding propeller. This will allow the drone to accelerate sharply if necessary.
news
2018.08.29 The team of the St. Petersburg State Marine Technical University and JSC Scientific and Production Enterprise of Underwater Technologies "OCEANOS" (St. Petersburg) performed with the AUV "Sea Shadow" at the "Aquarebotech-2018" underwater robotics competition. The team won first place in the glider class, however, there were no other participants with devices of this class in the competition.
2017.09.28. The tests were organized by the State Scientific Research Institute of Robotics of the Moscow Region and the St. Petersburg State Marine Technical University (SPbGMTU). New modification the device is built according to a hybrid scheme - it has a propeller, which allows the AUV to overcome the current, if necessary.
