Abstract
A small, 15.2 cm (6 in) diameter autonomous vehicle is under development at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Newport, Rhode Island. The objective of the vehicle is to complete an underwater fiber optic communications link. As an expendable device, low cost is a primary consideration. This factor in turn leads to numerous potential dual-use applications
