SAN DIEGO (July 5, 2022) – Royal New Zealand Navy (RZNZ) Able Hydrographic Systems Operator Evan Teao, (left) from Auckland, New Zealand, and RZNZ Able Hydrographic Systems Operator Georgia Teneti, from Auckland, New Zealand assigned to HMNZS Matataua (MAT), release a Hydroid REMUS 100 autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) into the ocean during Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2022 in Southern California. Hydrographic Systems Operators assist in the creation of accurate seabed and coastline charts for navigational and military purposes, help search for mines, underwater explosives, missing persons, sunken vessels, and they operate AUVs and remotely piloted aircraft systems. Unmanned and remotely operated vessels extend the capability of interconnected manned platform sensors to enhance capacity across the multinational force. Twenty-six nations, 38 ships, four submarines, more than 170 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC from June 29 to Aug. 4 in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. The world’s largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity while fostering and sustaining cooperative relationships among participants critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world’s oceans. RIMPAC 2022 is the 28th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Larissa T. Dougherty)
