Abstract :
This paper discusses the methods and results of the testing procedures used to validate the autonomous underwater vehicle controller at Texas A&M University (TAMU). Work on the controller began in January 1987. US Naval mission objectives drove many of the technical aspects, such as requirements for fault-tolerance and mission specification. A generic unmanned underwater vehicle was configured for controller technology development
