NIUVT Research to Enable Miniature Deep-Sea Cameras for UUVs
Abstract
NIUVT Research to Enable Miniature Deep-Sea Cameras for UUVs;The National Institute for Undersea Vehicle Technology (NIUVT) is a partnership between the University of Connecticut (UConn), University of Rhode Island (URI), and General Dynamics Electric Boat (EB), and is in collaboration with the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Newport (NUWC), the Undersea Warfighting Development Center (UWDC), and others in the Naval Research Enterprise (NRE). The NIUVT aims to be a strong partner in our national defense by providing an organizational construct that accelerates innovation by bringing together undersea partners for applied research, technology transition and workforce development. The NIUVT will be a resource for the development of new capabilities and technologies to ensure naval dominance for the future fleet. Consistent with Navy strategy, the NIUVT mission is to accelerate the development and transition of enabling technologies to advance and streamline the design and manufacturing of the next generation U.S. undersea fleet. The NIUVT provides a new and innovative entity in the U.S. undersea research and development enterprise that will bridge the cultural gap between academia and industry to accelerate technology innovation and capability adoption. This proposed funding will allow NIUVT to pursue applied research initiatives to effectively meet current and future needs of the Navy. The requested funding will enable research on miniature deep-sea cameras for unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs) through an applied research project and supporting activities to enable secure communication and file sharing with the Navy and industry partners within NIUVT.
