Abstract

The protection of objects of maritime critical infrastructure of the state belongs to the important tasks of ensuring the security of the state from the sea direction. A successful solution to this task is possible based on the broad involvement of modern means of marine robotics. This makes it possible to perform defensive measures around the clock and eliminates the subjective factor associated with human error. The article formulates the task of increasing effectiveness of the protection and security of marine critical infrastructure objects by using special means of marine robotics. The main types of works to protect water areas that can be performed with the involvement of marine robotics are given. Many such works include surface and underwater survey of water areas, observation of discovered potentially dangerous objects and technical countermeasures against these objects. The main stages of work on the creation of new means of underwater robotics are proposed. They include the analysis of existing types of robots, the formation of criteria for the effectiveness of their application, the justification of a new architectural and constructive type of robot and the tasks of its design. The first stage of the work includes a set of marine robotics and a set of variable attachment equipment, which should be involved in security work. The second stage of the work includes three criteria for the effectiveness of the use of robots: their productivity, quality of work and economic efficiency of use. The third stage of the work includes an improved version of an autonomous unmanned underwater vehicle with a radio buoy. The robot combines the advantages of traditional autonomous and tethered unsalted underwater vehicles. It has high performance, constant two-way communication with the supply ship and can operate at long distances from it. The fourth stage of the work includes the tasks of designing an improved underwater vehicle with a radio buoy, design tasks of its energy, informatics and operation. The results of the research form the scientific and technical basis of the project to create an improved version of marine robotics for effective protection and security of marine critical infrastructure facilities.
