Summary The goal of the initiative is to improve longevity in AUV operations. For the NPS center for AUV research, we will start investigations into three areas. First, in order to achieve longer term operations, the AUV needs to recharge its batteries. Whether this occurs at a stationary or moving underwater docking station (SSN, SDV, ASDS), optimal control strategies are needed for rendezvous. With the REMUS and a WHOI docking station at NPS, the center can use the existing NPS MISO (Monterey Bay Inner Shelf Observatory) lab for an offshore energy and data cable to permit an ideal research capability in Monterey Bay, CA.
