en.Wedoany.com Reported - Russian engineering company Zala has recently introduced a new series of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), primarily targeting commercial and security applications.

This series of USVs can perform various tasks including patrol, hydrographic survey, environmental monitoring, pollution response, light cargo transportation, and search and rescue.

Each vessel features an aluminum and composite structure, equipped with a payload bay capable of accommodating various sensors and other equipment, with a total payload capacity of up to 300 kg. The payload can be configured according to specific mission requirements.

To adapt to different water environments, the USVs can be fitted with outboard motors (for open sea areas) or water jet propulsion (for wetlands and nearshore waters, where algae and other debris may affect outboard motor operation).

With both propulsion methods, the estimated maximum speed ranges from 30 to 45 knots, suitable for sea conditions up to Sea State 3.

The USV is designed for remote control from shore, while also possessing full autonomous navigation capabilities.
