Preferred term

AUVS  

Definition

  • Self powered systems designed for oceanographic research that operate without a physical connection to the surface. These platforms use extremely modest energy requirements using changes in buoyancy for thrust coupled with a stable, low-drag, hydrodynamic shape. Please also note that underwater gliders are a type of AUV. (en)
