side It necessary and Identity by block number) 



The Remotely Manned Undersea Work Systems developed at the Naval Ocean Systems Center 

 (NOSC) are herein described. This paper begins with a description and analysis of typical under- 

 water work tasks. Based on the function derived from the tasks analysis, various underwater trans- 

 porters (vehicles or divers systems) will be described; the sensors required to locate and provide 

 support at the work site will be discussed. Based on the various components required to perform 

 underwater tasks thus delineated, systems synthesis is applied to provide the most efficient oper- 

 ations by best combining the complementary characteristics of each of the subsystems, (cont'd)
