1. 1 Containerized Towing / Handling Equipment System with ISO base can be anchored to deck with bolts or ISO corner fittings to provide ability to reconfigure to suit the mission

2. Retrofit of USV LARS to Frigate  designed for 9 m USVs and manned RHIBs  semi-automated system  ship modifications avoided by mounting davit to missile launching pads

3. Interoperability  Expected that unmanned vehicles will be shared between host vessels that are re-configuring for specific missions (MCM, patrol, hydrographic, ASW)  Also, two or more vessels may work together to complete a mission, with one vessel launching an unmanned vehicle and the other recovering it.  Launch, recovery and stowage systems must be readily adaptable to a range of vehicles.  As life cycle of naval and patrol vessels may greatly exceed that of any USV or UUV, launch, recovery and stowage hardware must be capable of upgrade or removal/replacement.
