The Naval Engineering Support Team (NEST) is comprised of several Navy engineers from around the country who are available to teams competing in the AUVSI AUV competition. The NEST engineers have different experiences to lend and are available to competing teams to help with engineering, testing and logistical issues faced during the design and development process.
The NEST will provide assistance where possible and potentially conduct onsite visits - visits are conducted on a first come first served basis for those groups who would like to have that interface. NEST is excited to have the opportunity to help in any way possible. Please download the pdf presentation for more information.
NEST Hardware Library
The Naval Engineering Support Team has compiled a collection of hardware that can be used on AUV's in satistying underwater tasks like those in the AUVSI competition. This collection of hardware can be borrowed by the competing teams during their vehicle development. Teams can borrow these items for testing and evaluation purposes during the year. Items include pingers, hydrophones, IMU's and compasses. Please contact your regional representative for more information.
