Talk:Autonomous underwater vehicle

Illegal drug traffic
This section is wrong - GPS (and indeed all radio) does NOT work underwater. Most probably, traffickers are not using AUV's, but surface vessels instead. Ones I've heard of are towed and manually sunk upon threats or at destination, then later surface and transmit location for pickup. These are not AUV's however (no propulsion of their own). Either way, anything that is an AUV is definitely NOT using GPS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8000:1BED:6D00:A5D5:4FE8:FD31:2D24 (talk) 12:40, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

Material from Unmanned Underwater Vehicle
I am redirecting the above page to here. Here is the rough information that was on that page at the time. I'm copying it here so it is preserved, but I am not sure it can be directly included in the page -- cmh 04:11, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) As indicated by the self-defining name, this describes any of a wide variety of unmanned vehicles which operate underwater.

There are both military and civilian applications, but since it is going to take a while to make this article complete, I want to start with the US Navy's application, and I invite anyone who wishes to help with buiding this to do so. The US Navy's Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) Master Plan Update, chartered in December 2003 by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy and OPNAV N77 (Submarine Warfare Division), expands on the missions and technologies recommended in the Navy UUV Master Plan of April 2000. Using Sea Power 21 for guidance, nine Sub-Pillar capabilities were identified and prioritized: 1. Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance 2. Mine Countermeasures 3. Anti-Submarine Warfare 4. Inspection / Identification 5. Oceanography 6. Communication / Navigation Network Node 7. Payload Delivery 8. Information Operations 9. Time Critical Strike

Lists of AUVs
hello is it possible for a link to our AUV to be placed in the section Research at universities?

here is a link

Cambridge AUV

I understand that this could get quite complex if every one did this. but a list of all the projects could be quite useful,

Merger Proposal
We seem to have duplication with unmanned underwater vehicle. This article seems to be superfluous and unneeded given the coverage we have here on the Autonomous underwater vehicle. Surely we don't need both? A merger of unmanned underwater vehicle into this page would seem to be in order. Antarctic-adventurer (talk)  05:39, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Comments on Merger Proposal 4 March 2012 Within the U.S. military unmanned systems (UxS) community of interest, there is debate about whether the word autonomous should be used to describe the currently operational vehicles. Although they are indeed unmanned, they have not progressed to the level of independent "decision-making" for many to feel comfortable describing them as truly autonomous. While a step up from "remotely piloted", the vehicles and systems that are currently operational are most aptly described as unmanned. You may actually consider three separate entries: 1) Remotely-piloted Underwater Vehicles (tethered and untethered): early generation vehicles where there is a one-to-one relationship between controller and vehicle actions 2) Unmanned Underwater Vehicles: untethered vehicles that operate with minimal controller direction or retasking 3) Autonomous Underwater Vehicles: vehicles that operate in the underwater environment with NO controller interaction or tasking beyond initial mission instructions
 * Oppose merge, as the pages do contain destinct material, unmanned being different from autonomous, and the latter greatly increasing in importance. They are appropriately linked to one another. Klbrain (talk) 08:41, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

The true question here is whether UUV expands to "unmanned underwater vehicle" or "unmanned undersea vehicle." Thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.155.65.226 (talk) 18:37, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
