U.S. Navy Standards and Interfaces Study: FY 2002 Results

Abstract

The US Navy's Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) Master Plan (April 2000) calls for adopting a more modular design philosophy and the establishment of standards for better integration of future UUV systems. In early 2002, a study team was formed with representatives from 5 Navy laboratories. Existing standards and systems have been examined, as well as soliciting industry input. Six draft standards were generated from this year's effort: 1) UUV Control Architecture and Software. 2) Propulsion and Hotel Power Bus. 3) Communications Protocols. 4) Data Storage. 5) UUV CPU backbone Architecture. 6) Electrical Connectors. Future efforts may include establishing standards for UUV modules and the development of guidelines for a modular common mission planner. Further industry and academic input is being sought for the further development of these and other standards.
