Dozens of Russian institutes and factories took part in the submersible creation. For instance, the project was developed by the Malakhit maritime design bureau (St. Petersburg). The hull is made of high-tensile titanium alloy specially designed by the Prometei scientific research institute of construction materials. It is 100-mm thick titanium alloy produced by JSC Corporation VSMPO-AVISMA.

Estimated service life of the submersible is 20 years.
