Deep Water Capabilities
Abstract
Proposed is a 3000m depth rated unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) based on the REMUS family of platforms. This vehicle will support multiple naval research initiatives in the field of autonomy, vehicle and sensor engineering, physical oceanography, and seabed surv ey. This unique platform is not commercially available and will be fabricated in collaboration with the Oceans System Laboratory at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute; the original developer of the REMUS family of systems. The proposed vehicle will be an exten sion of the successful 600m-rated vehicle and share similar design concepts of a singular pressure hull. The 3000m depth rating wil l allow for broader exploration and scientific study across the outer continental shelves and surrounding basins. The system will su pport basic and applied research programs and contribute to ongoing educational programs. As per guidance from the DURIP BAA, an ex ception to policy has been requested to exceed the suggested $1.5M ceiling.This abstract is publicly releasable.
