n Concept of Operations (ConOps): To include details of the vessel’s role, operating area, operating profile, environmental limits, maintenance and survey plans. The ConOps should also include any other information required by the administration to enable a certifying officer to determine if appropriate standards have been used. (Note: a good example of this is provided in the Lloyds Register Unmanned Marine Systems Code); n The Design Standards, Codes or Rules used for the vessel; n Periodic maintenance, trials and survey requirements necessary to demonstrate that the design intent is maintained through life; n A design justification as to why the particular standard is suitable for the vessel and intended use. 5.3.3 Typically, the design justification would be achieved by demonstrating that the performance requirements of the structure, equipment or system under consideration is the same as would be required for an equivalent manned vessel. (e.g. a 100m ship would require the same longitudinal stiffness and same propulsive power whether it is manned or autonomous). 5.3.4 Where the MASS design departs from the equivalent manned standard the justification shall demonstrate that either: n The change is acceptable because the manned vessel requirement is redundant in the MASS (e.g. Removal of crew habitability requirements or lifesaving equipment); or n An alternative solution is required to maintain the same level of performance (e.g. Replacing a manual firefighting system with automatic systems). 5.3.5 In either case the justification should demonstrate that the change does not result in an increased risk to other vessels, third parties or the environment. 5.4 Structure 5.4.1 The structure should be designed, constructed and maintained with a level of integrity sufficient to enable the MASS to be operated and maintained safely as and when required within its design or imposed limitations in all RFOC. 5.4.2 Any penetrations in the structure of the MASS should not affect the watertight and weathertight boundaries.

5.5 Stability 5.5.1 The buoyancy, stability, and watertight and weathertight integrity should be sufficient to enable the MASS to be operated and maintained safely as and when required within its design or imposed limitations in all RFOC. 5.6 Propulsion and Manoeuvring 5.6.1 The propulsion and manoeuvring systems should be designed with a level of integrity sufficient to enable the MASS to be operated and maintained safely as and when required within its design or imposed limitations in all RFOC. 5.6.2 The propulsion and manoeuvring systems should enable the MASS to manoeuvre as and when required by the Operator but still remain within the designed or imposed limitations. 5.7 Electrical Systems 5.7.1 The electrical system should be designed with a level of integrity sufficient to enable the MASS to be operated and maintained safely as and when required within its design or imposed limitations in all RFOC. 5.7.2 Sufficient electrical power should be provided to supply the required services of the MASS during all RFOC. 5.7.3 Sufficient power should be provided to supply for MASS to conduct its mission with an appropriate level of redundancy. It is acknowledged that for some smaller Classes of MASS there may be little or no redundancy required. 5.8 Fire safety 5.8.1 Where fire safety systems are required, they should be designed to detect and extinguish a fire with a level of integrity sufficient to enable the MASS to be operated and maintained safely and to protect the MASS in all RFOC. 5.9 Auxiliary Systems 5.9.1 The auxiliary systems should be designed to support mission equipment and mission functions. 5.9.2 If the MASS is to have a payload or carry cargo, it is not to have a detrimental effect on the MASS for the duration of its mission. 5.9.3 The MASS is to have sufficient systems to support the embarkation of cargo and equipment for the duration of its mission. 5.9.4 If seamanship systems are fitted to the MASS they are to ensure that the MASS can be recovered safely and undertake any seamanship operations as required e.g. (anchoring, mooring, towing etc).
