USV Operational Readiness Review
The vessel works. Someone senior now has to say it is ready to operate, in front of a client, an approver or an insurer, and nobody is quite sure what ready means. A readiness review turns that into a list you can work through.
What gets looked at
- CONOPS. What the vessel is actually for, in what conditions, with what limits, and whether the written version matches what the team believes.
- Procedures. Standing orders, normal operations, degraded modes, abort criteria, and who holds the authority to stop.
- Roles and manning. The watch structure, the Remote Master or equivalent, shore support, and whether one person is quietly doing four jobs.
- Competence and training. What each role has to be able to do, what evidence exists that they can, and where the records are.
- Contingency and emergency response. Loss of control, loss of communications, flooding, fire, grounding, collision, third-party interference, compromised control centre.
- Communications resilience. Primary, secondary and last-resort links, and what the vessel does when all of them go.
- Support and logistics. Spares, launch and recovery, guard or support vessel, fuel and charging, shore base.
- Assurance evidence. What you would have to hand over if a client, a class surveyor or a harbour authority asked for it tomorrow.
What you get
A findings register, split into blocking, conditional and advisory, each with an owner and a route to close it. A short verbal debrief with the people who have to act on it. Where a gap needs closing quickly, drafted text or a template to close it with, rather than a note telling you to write one.
No 90-page report nobody reads.
How it runs
Usually a few days. A document read, a round of interviews with the people who actually operate, and where it earns its place, time on site or in the control centre watching a real shift.
Findings are given straight, including the inconvenient ones. A review that tells you everything is fine is worth nothing.
When people ask for this
Before a first commercial job. Before a client audit. After a near miss. When a new investor, prime or insurer starts asking questions the team cannot answer in one document. And when a programme has grown faster than its paperwork, which is most of them.
