Collaborative Autonomous Maritime Vehicles for MCM Missions

Abstract

The primary focus for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) for mine countermeasure (MCM) missions is to optimize time, energy, and sensing resources to develop a percentage clearance estimate. This proposal investigates computationally efficient optimal control solutions for a network of MCM AUVs despite constrained sensing/communication. Efforts will be integrated with an educational program including proof-of-concept experiments, MCM internships, and autonomous maritime vehicle competitions.
