	Feasability Studies Some new concepts require technical and market feasibility studies to be undertaken prior to a production stage. The company has undertaken a number of such studies, including the building of prototype craft for demonstration purposes. Funding for some studies may be available via government innovation awards. Two ongoing projects involve the development of a Code of Practice and generic Safety Case for USV operations, which are being undertaken in association with the SUT and other industry partners.

	Detailed Design The success of any project relies on the quality of the detail design associated with it. ASV has significant experience in this area with 2D and 3D drafting and design software and offers full production engineering services.
