We use a number of motion control systems in our kit, from linear actuators, through ballscrews to linear guides. The sales reps we see could put you to sleep in five seconds flat.

Actually it'd be easier to hide than try to run!

hmmm. ever played Dangerous waters ?

Does a (fairly in my 0% experience opinion) good job of simulating warfare between russian and american naval platforms, with a good sim of an american ASW ship.

Would be a good battle between you two blokes - maybe a session next meet?

Two computers, two different rooms some beers and a few wagers.. My money's on the ASW !

Agreed if you're just talking about the ASW ship. However, equip said unit with an ASW helicopter (standard practice - ideally a Merlin) and the odds change considerably.....

There's a lot more to this than meets the eye but I had better not go any further (if I told you I'd have to kill you). Nothing's easy but everything's possible.....

Now, where's my glass-bottomed bucket?

Indeed he has but I've had a lot of 'seeking' training. Banter aside, the stuff they do in the 'tubes' is pretty bloody impressive.
