  • Abstract
    During extended continuous operations, gaps can form in the operations area when vehicles leave to recharge their energy supplies. This project implements a novel token-passing algorithm to manage a refueling strategy for cooperating unmanned undersea vehicles. The algorithm, which limits the number of vehicles to refuel during any time segment, robustly accommodates intermittent communications.
