This paper identifies current and difficult dual-use applications best suited for autonomous undersea vehicles (AUVs) in the undersea environment. The application and technology required for each mission configuration is addressed.
The applications discussed are in five broad areas including: performing long horizontal excursions; remaining on site for long periods of time; rapid response to undersea events; weather tolerant missions; and very hazardous inspection and data collection. Each application has specific dual-use possibilities, warranting future joint cooperation between the military and commercial sectors.
Special consideration in the selection of these applications was made to include only those missions that an AUV would be the most cost effective in performing. For each application an AUV would be configured with certain sensors, power sources and mission packages, all of which are non-trivial and crucial to the success of the mission. Technology developed for military applications may provide solutions for some requirements at reasonable costs if produced commercially and in quantitiy. Florida Atlantic University.
