EAVE-East Field Test Results

EAVE-East is an untethered autonomous submersible being developed by the Marine systems Engineering Laboratory (MSEL) at the University of New Hampshire. The submersible underwent intensive development testing during the summer and fall of 1983. Results of these tests will be presented to specifically address the following: 1. Vehicle navigation capability; 2. Vehicle controllability; 3. Mass data storage and retrieval. The presentation will include a short videotape of the vehicle swimming in and around a simulated structure. Future areas of development for this vehicle will be described.
