Conceptual Design of Future Undersea Unmanned Vehicle (UUV) System for Mine Disposal
Abstract
Abstract—A conceptual design is proposed for an effective
mine countermeasure (MCM) system, which consists of three
unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) and 10–20 small charged
deliverable vehicles. New underwater optical communication
systems are introduced to improve onboard mine reconnaissance
and decision making with the key technologies focused on system
and communication efficiency, capability of data processing,
and cost-effectiveness of MCM systems. The proposed UUV
MCM system is cost-effective due to adapting disposable mine
neutralization instruments, upgrading data process units, and
configuring optical communication systems between heterogeneous
underwater and surface vehicle units in operations. At
the same time, efficient and reliable underwater optical and
electromagnetic wave communication systems are also introduced
and analyzed for future system applications.
