Hi All,
Since one of the things I get paid to do is to allow my imagination to trump reality
, I thought I'd post these here...
Next week I'm presenting this in Bath, our design for an Unmanned Surface Vehicle carrying Ocean Patrol Vessel.
Firstly, the USV - a 10 tonne semi-submersible craft capable of a range of roles.
The baseline armament is a remote weapons station with a .50cal and a couple of laser-guided missiles for use in the Anti-Surface Warfare Role.
And the mothership, a 3000 tonne 100m patrol ship, with a light armament and capable of carrying 6 of the USVs (or various other things) in a midships mission bay.
And now the fleet, well part of it. Everywhere you go, they'll be watching you!
