Comments to the Class

These vessels are capable of operating unmanned in a mine clearance area. A towed sonar brings an image to the mother vessel, and camera identification is possible.

A 30 kg charge can automatically be laid beside any underwater object, and charged after the drone has returned to the remote controlled vessel.
