The K-Ster C is a lightweight, expandable underwater mine disposal vehicle designed for mine countermeasure and explosive ordnance disposal missions. Engineered for efficient and controlled neutralization, it enables operators to safely locate, approach, and disable underwater threats in a range of conditions. The system combines dual-frequency sonar for target detection with a video camera for identification and approach, supported by assisted piloting functions such as auto transit, stabilization, and hovering. Its tiltable warhead allows precise positioning against targets on the seabed, moored, or near the surface, ensuring effective engagement across varied scenarios.
Designed for operational flexibility, the K-Ster C can be deployed from multiple platforms including mine countermeasure vessels, RHIBs, and unmanned surface vessels. Its compact form factor, intuitive control interface, and secure firing link support efficient mission execution while maintaining operator safety. The system is equipped with a shaped charge using insensitive explosives, enabling reliable neutralization of modern threats. With strong maneuverability, stable hovering in challenging currents, and integrated acoustic positioning, it provides a dependable solution for naval mine disposal operations.
