BlueZone Group announced that service of two REMUS 100 vehicles has been completed at their Unmanned Maritime Systems (UMS) workshop at Newcastle, NSW. The REMUS 100 Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV) have been delivered to the Royal Australian Navy as one component of Project SEA1770 Rapid Environmental Assessment. Supplied by Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII), who recently acquired Hydroid and the REMUS technology, the REMUS 100 vehicles are among the most advanced in the world and capable of performing hydrographic survey to meet the demanding needs of Navy Deployable Geospatial Survey Teams.
BlueZone CEO Elizabeth Karpiel said that the REMUS support developed by BlueZone and HII was built upon over 20 years’ experience in UMS service, repair and modification conducted by BlueZone in Australia. “The sovereign capability for UMS support in Australia is a win-win for Navy and industry,” said Karpiel. “BlueZone provides a capable and dedicated support facility for Navy which means fast turnarounds on routine service, repairs, modification and upgrades, at the same time has grown an Australian industry capability that can support Navy now and into the future.”
