Value and promise of the UUV and AUV

Article Abstract:

Unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs) have assured to expand underwater capabilities, enlarge the sphere of battle-space dominance, and limit causalities by performing difficult and dangerous tasks in the littorals, such as Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and mine hunting. Improved technologies in propulsion, control, hydrodynamics, and sensors, have induced many navies to pursue innovation and deployment of UUVs and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to provide more effective means of meeting mission goals.
