  • Abstract
    This paper outlines the specifications and basic design approach taken on the development of the Girona 500, an autonomous underwater vehicle whose most remarkable characteristic is its capacity to reconfigure for different tasks. The capabilities of this new vehicle range from different forms of seafloor survey to inspection and intervention tasks.
