    Two military personnel wearing tactical helmets and brown t-shirts are handling a torpedo-shaped underwater drone (UUV/AUV) on the side of an inflatable rubber boat (RHIB) at sea. They appear to be preparing to deploy or recover the device over the side of the vessel. The setting is open ocean under an overcast sky.
