The Royal Navy requires both intra and inter autonomous maritime theatre lift capabilities in order to create a more cost effective and operationally agile logistic resupply solution for ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore capabilities, capable of being operated with minimal user involvement and minimal change to ships' infrastructure, systems and SOPs, whilst safely initiating deck landing automatically / autonomously, after navigating to and accurately locating the target vessel, in challenging day/night maritime operational environments.
