Advanced Unmanned Search System (AUSS) Supervisory Command, Control and Navigation.

Abstract

This document summarizes three major facets of Advanced Unmanned Search System (AUSS) vehicle operation. It describes the AUSS vehicle system's four command groups: the basic vehicle mode commands, which alter the vehicle's basic mode of operation; movement commands, which move the vehicle around; search commands, which control the vehicle's search sensors; and informational and miscellaneous commands, which provide information to surface operators. The document details the operation of individual basic vehicle mode, movement, and search commands. The document discusses the two types of AUSS vehicle navigation: dead reckoning and Doppler navigation. It describes the main computer system and the sensor computer group that comprise the AUSS vehicle's basic computer architecture, and it summarizes AUSS vehicle computer system components and their specific functions.... Advanced Unmanned Search System(AUSS), Forward-Looking Sonar(FLS), Navigation, Acoustic links, Doppler sonar, Side-Looking Sonar(SLS), Obstacle-avoidance system.
