Autonomous Legged Underwater Vehicle (ALUV)

Abstract

Long term goal is to develop a suite of innovative technologies that converge to provide a unique and effective means for systematic detection and classification of mines in the surf zone (SZ) and on the beach. The most promising technologies will be deployed on an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) platform, which will provide a mobile, stable platform for operations in the required regions. The objective is Integrate and demonstrate candidate sensor performance, mobility and object marking/mapping capability in the surf zone environment. The work will involve developing sensors for obstacle or mine detection, discrimination, and classification. The developed sensors will be integrated into the Ariel Autonomous Legged Underwater Vehicle (ALUV), and the resulting platform/sensor combination will be demonstrated in a field test.
