Abstract :
Describes the effort to converge separate AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle) and ASC (autonomous surface craft) research developments into a streamlined lab-wide standard. The final ASC and AUV configurations incorporating AUV based technologies are described and the results of field tests are presented. The paper concludes with an assessment of the benefits and limitations of this approach to autonomous vehicle development and operation
