Remote delivery of unmanned systems technologies
D.K. Freeman · 2005
By removing the war fighter from the area of risk when deploying autonomous underwater mine hunting vehicles, the RDUST system can greatly extend the reach and safety of the war fighter. The system extends mission reach and time on-site by transporting the mine hunter to the survey area, providing semi-autonomous positioning for launch of the mine hunter, and acting as a communications buoy to provide track and introduce new objectives while the mine hunter is underway.
