Abstract
The development and testing of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) hardware and software is greatly complicated by vehicle inaccessibility during operation. Integrated simulation remotely links vehicle components and support equipment with graphics simulation workstations, allowing complete real-time, pre-mission, pseudo-mission and post-mission visualization and analysis in the lab environment. Integrated simulator testing of software and hardware is a broad and versatile method that supports rapid and robust diagnosis and correction of system faults. This method is demonstrated using the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) AUV. High-resolution three-dimensional graphics workstations can provide real-time representations of vehicle dynamics, control system behavior, mission execution, sensor processing and object classification. Integrated simulation is also useful for development of the variety of sophisticated artificial intelligence applications needed by an AUV. Examples include sonar classification using an expert system and path planning using a circle world model. The flexibility and versatility provided by this approach enables visualization and analysis of all aspects of AUV development. Integrated simulator networking is recommended as a fundamental requirement for AUV research and deployment.
