Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
Technologies that provide tracking and navigational functions for unmanned, autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles on land, at sea and in the air, and use cases on their practical deployment
This topic covers the technologies that provide tracking and navigational functions for unmanned vehicles of all types, on land, at sea and in the air. These technologies include satellite-based navigation (GNSS) receivers, Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), Acoustic Positioning Systems (APS) and other sensors for situational awareness (radars, Lidars, optical and infrared cameras, ultrasonic, etc). Use cases for the deployment of these technologies in unmanned vehicles embraces land surveying, construction and urban planning, underwater exploration and asset management, archaeological and heritage studies, environmental monitoring, conservation, utility surveys, insurance risk surveys, built infrastructure surveys and inspection, defence applications, open cast mining, forestry and agriculture, traffic management, emergency services, search and rescue, humanitarian support, disease control and healthcare, merchandise delivery and weather forecasting
