Implementation of Autonomous Mission Control for Mine Reconnaissance AUVs

Abstract

Whilst autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly being used to perform MCM tasks, the capability of these systems is limited in terms of their ability to network and co-operate effectively with other manned or unmanned assets. This paper describes a processing system which is being developed at NURC to address this missing capability. In addition to describing the system approach and implementation progress, the underlying requirement for the system is analyzed through a review of typical mission needs and the performance constraints of current technology.
