Abstract
The design, construction and testing of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for use as a research and development testbed at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) is presented. Design objectives, analysis and trade‐offs are discussed with respect to a generic AUV with specific details for the case of the NPS AUV II. System integration and flexibility are emphasized in the subject vehicle to support presently planned and future research employment. Hull, mobility, sensors, automatic control, and energy subsystems are described. Design and fabrication techniques for the NPS AUV II vehicle hull and equipment are documented. Some results from an experimental program illustrating verification of vehicle design are described.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
