Variable buoyancy system metric
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Over the past 20 years, underwater vehicle technology has undergone drastic improvements, and vehicles are quickly gaining popularity as a tool for numerous oceanographic tasks. Systems used on the vehicle to alter buoyancy, ...
Design considerations for engineering Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have been established as a viable tool for Oceanographic Sciences. Being untethered and independent, AUVs fill the gap in Ocean Exploration left by the existing manned submersible and ...
Single Transponder Range Only Navigation Geometry (STRONG) applied to REMUS autonomous under water vehicles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
A detailed study was conducted to prove the concept of an iterative approach to single transponder navigation for REMUS Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). Although the concept of navigation with one acoustic beacon is ...
Analysis of 2-axis pencil beam sonar microbathymetric measurements of mine burial at the Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
The changing state of warfare has driven the US Navy's area of operations closer to shore into littoral coastal waters. Mine Warfare has been proven as an extremely effective means of battlespace control in these waters. ...
