EXTREMITY OF INDIAN AUTONOMUS UNDERWATER VEHICLE: A SURVEY

Abstract

Unmanned autonomous underwater vehicles are free swimming marine robots without any human intervention with sensors, navigation and onboard intelligence system. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) are cost effective and efficient unsupervised vehicle suitable for complicated aquatic operations. Initially the information about AUV is in hypothetical and conceptual manner but now more attention is paid in practical development. Over the past few years India is unfolding her wings in the field of AUV research and development. In this survey paper we are going to discuss the essential architectural attributes and subsystems of autonomous underwater vehicle and also comprise the edge of autonomous underwater vehicle development in India.
