Large Displacement Undersea ROVs Control System Tested

The NAVY recently tested the Common Control System (CCS) with a remotely operated submersible vehicle. Capt. Ralph Lee, who oversees Navy's CCS Program at Patuxent River, MD,reported that "These tests proved that operators could use CCS from a single global operations center to plan, command, and monitor UUVs on missions located anywhere in the world...
