Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV), also known as uncrewed underwater vehicles and underwater drones, [1] are submersible vehicles that can operate underwater without a human occupant. These vehicles may be divided into two categories: remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROUVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).
AUVs constitute part of a larger group of undersea systems known as unmanned underwater vehicles, a classification that includes non-autonomous remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) – controlled and powered from the surface by an operator/pilot via an umbilical or using remote control. In military applications an AUV is more often ...

He is also the chairman of the Manned Underwater Vehicles Committee. His testimony is set to begin at 11 a.m. EDT. Afterward, Bart Kemper, principal engineer of Kemper Engineering, will testify.
The REMUS (Remote Environmental Monitoring UnitS) series are autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) made by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and designed by their Oceanographic Systems Lab (OSL). More recently REMUS vehicles have been manufactured by the spinoff company Hydroid Inc, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Kongsberg ...
An underwater glider is a type of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that employs variable-buoyancy propulsion instead of traditional propellers or thrusters. It employs variable buoyancy in a similar way to a profiling float , but unlike a float, which can move only up and down, an underwater glider is fitted with hydrofoils (underwater wings ...
In 2018, 38 members of the Marine Technology Society’s Manned Underwater Vehicles committee wrote to Mr Rush expressing “unanimous concern” about the way Titan had been developed.
An underwater vehicle is any member of the class of watercraft that is intended to operate in the underwater environment, as opposed to surface vessels that only stay afloat on top of water. This article lists the types of underwater vehicle, with a brief description of each type.
