The range of this underwater drone should be 2000 kilometers.

In case of jamming, the device identifies the jamming area.

The device automatically scans the area with a 3D sonar, hydrophone, and camera.

This scanning will help to create mine maps for demining.

The guidance system uses GPS or operates using an inertial navigation system in the absence of GPS (underwater) or when the signal is jammed.

The device identifies targets using video cameras and thermal imaging cameras and visually using a neural network.

The guidance system includes passive sonar - identification and direction finding of underwater and surface objects using a system of hydrophones.

Ultrasonic sonars (active sonar) have also been added for close range detection. Tracking and identification of objects by size.

In total, three versions are being developed: TLK 1000 (4-12 meters); TLK 400 (4-6 meters); TLK 150 (2.5 meters). The TLK 150 will be equipped with an electric motor, have a range of 100 km and the ability to carry up to 20-50 kg of explosives. The TLK 400 will have a 500 kg explosive capacity and a range of 1200 kilometers. And the 4-12-meter TLK 1000 with a range of 2000 kilometers will be able to carry up to 5000 kg of explosives.
