Underwater docking of autonomous undersea vehicles using optical terminal guidance

Oceans '97. MTS/IEEE Conference Proceedings, 2002
Missions in which an autonomous undersea vehicle docks with an underwater node for the purpose of battery recharging and/or data transfer greatly increase the scope of potential applications possible with UUVs. Robust and accurate vehicle guidance to a small, simple and reliable docking structure is a critical capability which must be developed in ...

An integrated computational model of an autonomous, visually guided undersea vehicle

Proceedings of 1994 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Robot and Human Communication, 2002
This paper reports progress made on the development of a computational model of a visually guided autonomous underwater vehicle. The model is based on knowledge obtained from laboratory studies in psychophysics and neurophysiology as well as on new developments in computer science.

Seabed reflection measurements from an autonomous undersea vehicle: Probing seabed spatial variability.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009
Spatial variability of the seabed in littoral regions is driven by processes that span a large range of space and time scales, ranging from eustatic fluctuations which are more or less global in extent but can have a profound effect on sedimentary layering from hundreds of meters to sub-meter scales, to biologic reworking which might be very local and ...

Reverberation and scattering measurements from seabed clutter features using an autonomous undersea vehicle.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009
Acoustic reverberation in littoral ocean waveguides is often controlled by small-scale seabed heterogeneities. Thus, validation of reverberation models and development of realistic simulations require measurements of those scales. Clutter features for mid-frequency active sonars span scales from order 1–1000 m.

The law governing autonomous undersea vehicles: what an operator needs to know

Proceedings of OCEANS 2005 MTS/IEEE, 2005
AUVs are the cutting edge of technology used to explore the world's oceans. Unlike tethered and remotely operated vehicles which are a simple extension of the research vessel, AUVs are, and legally should be, considered separate entities. The AUVs autonomous nature, however, creates a regulatory gap.

Experimental Evaluation of RF Modems for Use in Fleets of Multiple Cooperating Autonomous Undersea Vehicles

OCEANS 2006, 2006
This paper presents the results of the experimental evaluation of three radio frequency (RF) modems for use as communication infrastructure among multiple surfaced cooperating autonomous undersea vehicles (AUVs), gateway buoys, and land or ship based operators. RF modems are inherently more complex than their wired counterparts which makes it difficult
