Marichka AUV

Marichka is a Ukrainian-developed autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) built for multi-role missions, including underwater strike operations, cargo transport, and reconnaissance. It is designed to operate covertly over long distances and engage a wide range of maritime and coastal targets.

Operational capabilities
Marichka is engineered to strike naval targets such as landing ships, boats, submarines, missile corvettes, as well as coastal infrastructure including bridge supports. Its payload module is adaptable depending on mission requirements, allowing both offensive and non-combat configurations.

Navigation & control
The vehicle uses an inertial navigation system and can be activated either by timer or remote signal. It is capable of reaching designated coordinates, entering standby mode for extended periods (up to one week), and executing commands upon activation.

Stealth & survivability
Low detectability is achieved through specialized hull materials and low-noise propulsion, reducing visibility to hydroacoustic systems. The platform is also designed to withstand electronic warfare interference, increasing mission reliability in contested environments.
