Applications
Users that benefit from a single system that can be used as a high-performance tow body and an untethered UUV based on the same vehicle. Search and survey; Mine countermeasures (MCM); Open architecture R&D platform
Commercial Options
VCT Operator Console software standard.
Distinguishable features
Powered Tow Body Mode converts the UUV into a steady towfish by swapping out the nose section and using propulsion to achieve depth.
