The USV VTR can develop a speed of 25 km while guided via satellite link (SATCOM). Among other things, this system features a 360-degree electro-optical camera, thermal camera, and radar for the detection and avoidance of surface obstacles.
In addition, VTR can conduct automatic navigation via Way Points as well as safely return to its operator in case of loss of communication with him.
The USV VTR is a standard commercial vessel that has been processed and made “military-specific” by the HNDGS KETAK, according to the officials, who added that its development continues.
They stressed that its performance was completely satisfactory for the scenarios that it was called upon to execute.
