According to the report, the manufacture of this device is within the framework of the Anaconda project. It is expected that the robot will be completed in the next 18 months.

The US hopes to use river robots in reconnaissance, ammunition and food supplies, as well as to move forces.

According to Voice of Russia, the Anaconda is capable of operating in three modes: one is directly onboard, the other is remote, and the third is fully independent. . In this case, the starting point and destination will be entered into the Anaconda program, which automatically sets up the migration route based on the detected obstacle data.
