The remotely-controlled mine-hunting vessel is able to operate at depths of 100 metres for up to five hours and hit a maximum speed of six knots, the Straits Times reported.
Electronic devices attached to the 2.5 metre-long vessel, which is developed locally, enable it to scan the seabed to detect and destroy mines. Full Story
