Talisman UUV

The vehicle can be re-programmed in mid-mission by satellite and features a carbon fibre hull giving it a stealth-like profile and low observability.

Talisman can carry a wide variety of payloads, such as image capture, environmental sensors or mine counter measures.

[citation needed] The first remote sea launch of the Archerfish mine disposal system from Talisman was successfully completed during the trials.

[citation needed] The Talisman vehicle is based on an innovatively shaped carbon fibre composite hull, with internal pressure vessels containing the electronics systems and payload.

[citation needed] It is fitted with vectorable thruster pods, which allow it to manoeuvre very accurately in difficult conditions, including strong currents, and over an extended period of time: the Talisman can be deployed 50 miles offshore and remain in operation for 24 hours.
