Comprehensive Testing of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive framework for the testing of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), covering various aspects including hydrodynamics, construction, features, and capabilities. A detailed step-by-step testing methodology is proposed to ensure thorough evaluation and validation of AUV performance. The hydrodynamic aspect focuses on assessing maneuverability, stability, and drag characteristics through controlled testing in simulated and real-world underwater environments. The construction aspect involves verifying the structural integrity, material quality, and sealing effectiveness of the AUV under varying pressures and environmental conditions. The features and capabilities aspect evaluates the efficiency of navigation systems, sensors, communication protocols, and payload handling mechanisms. By following this systematic testing approach, researchers and engineers can gain valuable insights into the performance and reliability of AUVs, leading to advancements in underwater exploration, surveillance, and data collection.
