USV/UUV Design Considerations for Launch/Recovery/Stowage
No manual intervention; once launched, vehicles must be ready to go (propulsion, generators, control system running)
Common hull form will allow common deck cradle (and stern ramp runners)
Improved vehicle control required when operating alongside a mother ship. Automated guidance/positioning desirable.
Are higher safety factors required if USV or UUV are carrying weapons?
Single point lift desired vs 2 pt lift For USVs, antennas and radars need to be re-located away from
CG/lift point or folded out of the way
USV refuelling system based on ABCS™ (Automated Bulk Hose Connection System)
Uses a drop ball suspended from platform crane to make initial connection with a ship mounted catcher
Designed to operate with 40 knot winds and 4 m seas
Future Handling Systems
Future handling systems may be automated or semi-automated and will
incorporate automation and robotics. This will increase safety and reduce the number
of crew required on deck.
