A Fiber-Optic Tether for the Hull Search UUV System Documentation

Abstract

This document describes the installation and operation of a fiber-optic (FO) tether system developed to augment unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) conducting ship hull inspection missions, defines the required specifications that will allow the integration and installation of a FO tether system on UUVs with ship hull inspection capability, provides the parts list and vendors list for this system, details the sequence required to assemble the UUV telemetry subassembly from parts described in the parts list, captures outcomes and design decisions based on trade studies, engineering analysis, and fleet user inputs that affect the final configuration of the FO tether system for the hull search UUV, and provides assembly drawings for the system.
