[Platforms] FRANCE - Scampi

[Lowry, Roy K]

Dear All,

We just need to be careful here that the codes we are assigning to these autonomous vehicles don’t break our definition of a platform code.  Is Scampi one hull or a generic name applied to a class of hulls?  If it’s the latter is there any way of identifying the specific hull such as a serial number ?  Michele, could you confirm this please?

Cheers, Roy.
