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).
