Abstract :
This work deals with the design of the propulsion system of a modular AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) considering different kinds of electrical propulsion systems. In particular, the authors introduce the design criteria followed for the preliminary testing activities and the methodologies adopted for fast testing and prototyping of the proposed solutions. This is a quite important topic considering small production series and the high customization and the reliability required by this kind of applications.
