Simulation Trial Results for the Cooperative Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Demonstration (SA15)

Abstract

A simulation trial was conducted to test the connectivity between the two heterogeneous software systems that were part of a cooperative Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Demonstration being undertaken by the Australian and Singaporean defence science agencies. Since the final, demonstration trial was to be undertaken in Singapore, with no possibility of undertaking repeat trials, a risk management strategy was developed. This included, where possible, using the internet to simulate connectivity and communication between the two nations' vehicles. The trial, which involved connecting the mis- sion management systems of the two vehicles, and testing the High Level Protocol's functionality for the prescribed Mission, culminated in a successful demonstration of all relevant systems functioning together.
