Autonomous Underwater Vehicles for Ocean Research: Current Needs and State of the Art Technologies

Abstract: Research in the field of scientific Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) has been underway for over three decades. Much of the original work was funded by the military, and the vehicles were intended for Naval Ordnance Systems Command oceanographic needs, although the payloads were for general scientific use. Over the last decade, several autonomous underwater vehicles have been purpose built for both the science community and industrial operations around the world. Because of the variety of mission requirem… Show more

“…However, notable exceptions are the upwelling regions off the coast of Somalia and Java/Sumatra; both of these regions are of significant climate interest (e.g., Saji et al 1999;Webster et al 1999;Vecchi and Harrison 2004;Vecchi et al 2004). Because of their proximity to land and the active fisheries present in those regions, expected losses to vandalism and snares with fishing equipment make mooring deployment in these regions unfeasible; the utility of developing observational technologies, such as autonomous gliders (e.g., Eriksen et al 2001;Sibenac et al 2004), to sample directly in these regions should be explored. However, the subsurface subseasonal variability along the coast of Java/Sumatra (e.g., 5°S, 100°E) exhibits strong coherence with variability along the equatorial waveguide, at the location of the proposed moorings (Fig.…”

“…The data (Greinert, 2016) and dead reckoning (GEOMAR, 2016). Each system has its own limitations that contribute to the total navigation error (Sibenac et al, 2004;Chen et al, 2013) that generally results in positioning drifts over time. Consequently, this affects the position accuracy of the MBES and photo data.…”
