NOSC (Naval Ocean Systems Center) and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV's) and Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles (AUVs)

Abstract

As the lead Navy Laboratory in deep ocean engineering, one of NOSC's principal responsibilities involves developing the systems needed by the Navy to perform Fleet missions down to great ocean depths. These operations include finding, surveying, recovering, and repairing objects underwater. The systems used for this are test-bed Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles (AUVs)-sometimes jointly called Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (UUVs)-and are employed to advance deep ocean technology, which is another NOSC responsibility. (NOSC also develops other unmanned vehicles for carrying out principal Navy missions; for example, mine neutralization.)
