Dstl is developing a prototype Remote Controlled Surface Platform (RCSP) that will be used in naval trials to assist in the recovery of explosive ordnance from the seabed. The RCSP will be equipped with a lifting winch, which, in coordination with a separately controlled remotely operated vehicle (ROV), will transport ordnance to a safe area for disposal. All personnel involved in the recovery operations will be located at a safe standoff distance (>250m) aboard a crewed vessel within line of sight at all times.
