Divers and swimmers pose a potential water-side threat to assets in ports and harbors. Developing effective technologies and systems to detect, localize, and classify these threats is critical to protecting those assets. Once a potential threat has been identified, it is necessary to intervene to either deter or further classify a threat. UUVs are a technology that can be employed in this role, but...
Recently, unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) have been proposed for many applications including environmental monitoring, the oil industry, aquatic life research, law enforcement and military applications. One particular military application involves using UUVs for mine countermeasure (MCM) operations. In 2003 during operation dasiaIraqi Freedompsila a Hydroid REMUS UUV was first used to search for...
The use of Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) has been proposed for several different types of applications including hydrographic surveys (e.g., mapping the ocean floor and exploring sunken wreckage), mine detection and identification, law enforcement (e.g., enforcing certain fishing regulations), environmental and pollution monitoring, and even performing surveys to find potential drilling locations...
A large autonomous undersea vehicle (AUV), the Seahorse, has been designed, constructed, and tested by the Applied Research Laboratory at Pennsylvania State University (ARL/PSU, University Park, PA) for the U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO, Stennis Space Center, MS). The vehicle is required to launch in shallow water (<10 m) and to hover without propulsion. Additionally, due to the very...
