Abstract

This paper proposes a new technological solution for the sea observation using an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) or Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (UUV). The term USV refers to any vehicle that operates on the surface of the water without a crew. USVs have the potential, and in some cases the demonstrated ability, to reduce risk to manned forces, provide the necessary force multiplication to accomplish military missions, perform tasks which manned vehicles cannot, and do so in a way that is affordable for the navy. In this paper we examine the use of unmanned vehicles (USV and UUV) which can replace the manned sea patrol system with additional sensors and high performance communication systems in future.
