Inspector Mk2

Inspector Mk2 is a multi-purpose unmanned surface vehicle (USV) developed by France's ECA Group (now Exail) that can operate autonomously or by remote control. It is used for mine countermeasures and hydrographic survey and can work together with autonomous underwater vehicles, relaying data between surface and underwater systems over wireless links. Its shallow-draft aluminium monohull allows it to manoeuvre in shallow water, and it has a range of about 120 nautical miles at 10 knots. Russia bought Inspector Mk2 systems from ECA for its Project 12700 Alexandrit-class minesweepers, with deliveries in 2016–2017.
