Looks like a great system. Hopefully if successful, it could become a 'standard' MCMW' system across NATO. Those mother ships look like they could do more tasks, including Ocean Survey, Hydrography, Support, or even limited patrol.
Terrible system to work with on the North Sea, they talk about seatstate 5 but thats what they never will achieve. You can clearly sea they allready used different footage during the rough seatrials. If the unmanned vehicle sails into the his docking station it will certainly hit the topside frames with a bit of swell....
Thanks for this report and the great images about the integration of this USV with its mothership. Well done, ECA!
Cool piece of kit. Unmanned is the future
