Unmanned Underwater Vehicle
Abstract
The Persistent Littoral Undersea Surveillance (PLUS) Innovative Naval Prototype (INP) Program provides Undersea Surveillance capability by employing mobile Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) technology. PLUS is being developed in response to an Urgent Operational Need (UON) identified by the Fleet. PLUS uses both conventionally powered UUVs with propellers and UUVs propelled by buoyancy engines (commonly called seagliders). PLUS INP S&T development program is planned to transition into a prototype User Operational Evaluation System (UOES). The Large Displacement Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (LDUUV) provides long endurance UUVs operating autonomously in denied littorals with multiple mission payloads to increase the Navy's capacity and capability. Persistent Littoral Undersea Surveillance (PLUS): The Persistent Littoral Undersea Surveillance (PLUS) program provides effective, adaptive and persistent undersea surveillance targets over large littoral areas.
