They say that we know more about the infinite expanse of the cosmos than we know about our own oceans. Well one new Russian underwater drone called the Glider 2.0 might be able to close the gap. The 8 foot long autonomous underwater robot was tested outside St. Petersburg in the Leningrad Oblast on Wednesday.

However, the military has also taken note of his modern day robotic Jacques Cousteau. The torpedo-like Glider 2.0 can operate completely autonomously, has stealth capabilities, and can stay in the sea for up to six months at a time between refueling and service. This makes it ideal for military purposes, including surveillance and reconnaissance. In essence, the Glider 2.0 will make an excellent underwater spy.

A new modification of the Glider is already being worked on. Developers are planning on increasing its speed and equipping it with a folding water propeller.
