Other features: Razorback is a specialized, militarized variant of the REMUS 600 platform developed for the United States Navy. The autonomous underwater vehicle specializes in intelligence gathering, hydrographic bottom mapping, mine countermeasures, and the rigorous preparation of the operational environment prior to amphibious or special operations. Furthermore, Razorback is capable of being launched and recovered by nuclear-powered submarines, such as the Virginia class, directly underwater through standard torpedo tubes without requiring the submarine to surface, which is critical for maintaining mission stealth.
