Removing Man From Minefield Singie-mind,one-shot autonomous vehicle closes gap on mine neutralization

摘要

Robotic SolutionrnThe NATO Undersea Research Centre is "exploring ways to per- form maritime mine neutralization more safely, efficiently and cost- effectively," said Warren Fox, program manager for the overall autonomous naval mine countermeasures program at the center.rn1.The effort involves collaboration between a highly capable autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) and a low-cost, disposable, mine-intervention unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV).rn2.The ASV guides the UUV to the target.rn3.The testing platforms were developed from modified commercial, off-the-shelf components.
