A huge robotic arm, wielding a waterjet powerful enough to slice through steel, swings into action.

The firm will evaluate waterjet, plasma and hydraulic mechanical cutters in the future.

The robot arms are the sort that toil in car factories, for example, and the waterjet is manufactured by ANT AG, another German firm.

The LCS utilizes waterjet propulsion and a combined diesel and gas turbine engine.

Collins says the grant totals a little more than $667,000 and it will help the shipyard purchase and install a new waterjet cutting machine to construct modern, lightweight carbon fiber ferries.
