ROMOR and technology partners, Applied Acoustics and Oceanbotics, conducted a 4-day training seminar at COVE for the Nexus 2 USBL and SRV-8 ROV.

Day 1 included introductions from the 14 trainees representing FMF Cape Scott Engineering Group and underwater acoustics, mechanical, electrical and weapons experts from the dockyard. Day one training was held at a local survival training centre.
