Initial immersion testing upon establishing a stable destination candidate is to be carried out utilizing a standardized series of six unmanned drones (specifications detailed separately) without any form of wireless capability, connected by an immersion-stable umbilical line to an isolated control terminal primeside operated by a mechanical arm by authorized science staff.
Upon retrieval the first three drones are to be incinerated without sampling, the fourth and fifth disassembled prior to incineration and the sixth (equipped with sampling capabilities) taken to analysis.
