HII’s REMUS unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) can now be launched and recovered from ships entirely autonomously, thanks to the new Sea Launcher system.

Its strong-back aluminum base frame is reinforced with carbon fiber, paired with a carbon fiber recovery cradle that features soft support rails to protect the vehicle.
