The ship, on board which housed several laboratories for working with dangerous viruses, was wrecked. The crew managed to escape, but among the debris of the laboratories (at the bottom), virus samples could remain. There is a risk of these samples entering the environment. To neutralize virus samples in the surviving laboratories, it was decided to use an AUV, launched from a helicopter and delivering a substance that neutralizes viruses.

According to the legend of the assignment, the participants need to inspect the water area with the alleged crash site. To do this, the AUV, after launching, must pass along the wreckage of a scientific vessel, identify the most dangerous laboratory and neutralize the virus. Also, it is necessary to identify the less affected laboratory and inspect it. After completing the main tasks, the AUV should surface in the specified area.

The crew managed to escape, but among the debris of the laboratories (at the bottom), virus samples could remain. There is a risk of these samples entering the environment. To neutralize virus samples in the surviving laboratories, it was decided to use an AUV launched from a helicopter and delivering containers with a virus neutralizing substance.

According to the legend of the assignment, the participants need to inspect the water area with the alleged crash site. To do this, the AUV, after launching, must determine the direction of the search, go along the wreckage of the scientific vessel, identify the most dangerous laboratory and discharge the container. Also, it is necessary to identify the less affected laboratory and drop the container onto it in order to destroy the remaining samples of the virus. After completing the main tasks, the AUV should surface in the recovery zone above the pinger dropped by the evacuation helicopter.
