Fuzzy logic for depth control of Unmanned Undersea Vehicles

IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering, 1995
Fuzzy logic is a viable control strategy for depth control of undersea vehicles. It has been applied to the low speed ballast control problem for ARPA's unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV), designed and built by Draper. A fuzzy logic controller has been designed and tested in simulation that issues pump commands to effect changes in the UUV depth, while ...

Hydrogen Fuel Cells for Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Propulsion

ECS Transactions, 2016
The high efficiency of fuel cells combined with the high energy of hydrogen can be used to create energy systems for long endurance vehicles. As the automotive sector has developed fuel cells for this purpose, the same technology might enable long endurance unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs).

Bio-inspired unmanned undersea vehicle

SPIE Proceedings, 2010
Biological systems in ocean environment provide all the desired features required for design of unmanned undersea vehicles. We noticed the uniqueness and simplicity in the design of rowing medusa and have successfully demonstrated working prototypes of Aurelia Aurita. In this study, we demonstrate the effect of bell joints in reducing the contraction

Recovering unmanned undersea vehicles with a homing and docking sonar

Proceedings of OCEANS 2005 MTS/IEEE, 2005
There is a great deal of interest in deploying and recovering an unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV) with a submarine or a surface ship. This paper describes a homing and docking sonar (HDS) that was developed for a 21-inch diameter UUV and host platform.

A nonlinear sliding mode autopilot for unmanned undersea vehicles

Proceedings of OCEANS'94, 2002
A nonlinear sliding mode autopilot has been designed to control the United States Navy, Office of Naval Research (ONR) unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs). The paper discusses the selection process behind the choice of the sliding mode technique, and the design of the autopilot.

Expanding Missions for Small Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (UUVs)

Volume 3: Materials Technology; Ocean Engineering; Polar and Arctic Sciences and Technology; Workshops, 2003
Small unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs), those less than 150 pounds, have many advantages for field operations over the larger models. The increase in number and capabilities of these vehicles is opening doors for an ever expanding number of applications.
