According to a report on Russian television (Vesti, on Rossiya channel, August 7, 2005), the Project 1855 “Priz” vessel was designed by the “Lazurit” design bureau and four modifications were made: AS-26 (developed in 1986), AS-28 (1989), AS-30 (1989), and AS-34 (1991).
The Priz is thought be operable either manned or unmanned with a battery endurance of three hours. There has been a proposal to upgrade the class to allow it to dock with damaged submarines and improve its navigational ability.
The Priz vessels are equipped with manipulators that can lift up to 50 kg.
The Priz subs are carried by Project 05360 or Project 05361 rescue ships, which can carry up to two of the subs. The ships are equipped with special equipment to deploy Priz in rough seas.
