Where is the watch stander for the Remote Vehicle Operator posted?

• A. MM console in ICC 2
• B. Bridge wing control room
• C. Combat Information Center main console
• D. Engineering planning room

Answer: (A)

Unmanned vehicle ops are handled from a dedicated workstation within the ship’s Integrated Control Center. The Remote Vehicle Operator needs direct, secure access to the vehicle’s control interface, video feeds, and communications, and to coordinate with the TAO and other watch teams. That’s why the watch stander sits at the MM console in ICC 2 — it’s the designated RV operation station, giving the operator the necessary tools and real-time data in a space set aside for this function. The bridge wing control room is used for traditional bridge navigation, not RV control; the Combat Information Center main console handles the ship’s broader sensor and weapons picture, not the unmanned vehicle controls; and the engineering planning room is for propulsion and engineering planning tasks unrelated to RV operations.
