Called Talisman, the device is based on computer software, which allows it to automatically detect mines without navigation.

Talisman can automatically dive into the water and travel a distance of several kilometers to reach the mine. Once the target is detected, it will float on the water surface to signal the control center and wait for further instructions.

Then it dives into the water and demolishes it with a small explosive. Talisman is the size of a large car, can dive down to 300m, flip and turn 360 degrees. Under optimum conditions, it can reach speeds of 9 km / h.
