The vehicle is currently in advanced stages of development, with a prototype and sea-trials planned for early 2018. Following the trials, the vehicle will begin a full programme of marine science activities from 2019 onwards. This paper outlines the capabilities and intended usage of this novel game changing vehicle, providing justification for the statement of range and endurance. |
