What you'll learn
- Europe has written down what a deployable underwater-intervention capability should be, and it has written it down well.
- The specification calls for containerised mission modules of standard size, movable by land, air and sea, carrying diving and unmanned underwater equipment, operated by qualified people, arranged around an open architecture so that the package can be tailored to the mission rather than rebuilt for it.
- The description is precise enough to be costed and procured.
