Key facts

Type

Autonomous surface vessel

Extra-large autonomous underwater vessel (primary Rekise)

Rekise identifies Jalkapi as an extra-large autonomous underwater vehicle for long-duration intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions (Rekise)

Underwater mission profile (primary Rekise)

Rekise presents Jalkapi within its autonomous underwater vehicle portfolio for extended marine operations and monitoring (Rekise)

Jalkapi page prints 11 m and 300 m

Rekise's vessel page prints Jalkapi length 11 m, diameter 2 m, weight about 20 tons, and operating depth up to 300 m. The stored extra-large sentence is not this dimension cell (Rekise Jalkapi).

Jalkapi page prints 8 knots and 30 to 45 days

The same Jalkapi block prints speed 3 knots sustained and 8 knots maximum, endurance 30 to 45 days, lithium-ion batteries, and an autonomous diesel generator for in-mission recharging. A key-specifications line also prints 30+ days at 3 knots. Those cells are not the stored mission-profile sentence (Rekise Jalkapi).
