DDS order 30 Long Watch UUVs

The DDS have ordered 30 Long Watch UUVs from the Clone company Uncloned Combat Solutions (UCS) who have developed most HCS UCVs to date. Long Watch is a surveillance drone designed for long range operation at or just below the water surface. Long Watch has an impressive suite of sensors ranging from EO/IR cameras to a directional microphone. The precise sensor fit has yet to be finalised however. The DDS may receive the UUVs without any and fit their own sensors.

The HCSN have found Long Watch to be a highly effective tool in combating sea piracy and the DDS will use theirs for surveillance of coastal areas.
