UDT 2016: RNZN furthers Seaeye Falcon training

16th May 2016 - 10:50 GMT | by Richard Thomas in London

RSS

Personnel from the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) have completed an ROV training course on the Saab Seaeye Falcon, a system regularly used by the Navy for reconnaissance and security duties.

The course, delivered at Devonport Naval Base in New Zealand, ran for nine days and focused on in-water operation training. A number of warships of the RNZN were berthed close-by, allowing the group to work under and around the vessels, carrying out a range of training exercises.

The course was split between classroom lectures and practical/in-water operational training and was specifically tailored by The Underwater Centre for the Navy.
