Assured Onboard Autonomy Architecture for AUVs

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are becoming widely used in naval defense operations and commercial applications such as oil and gas surveying, environmental monitoring and search and rescue. During a breakout session today at XPONENTIAL, Arjuna Balasuriya, Senior Scientist at Charles River Analytics presented a new whitepaper on, “Assured Onboard Autonomy Architecture for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles.” Balasuriya’s remarks and whitepaper focused on how building trust with end-users to support limited human interaction with enable AUVs to be integrated in a way that reaches their fullest potential. A successfully integrated AUV must be adaptable to varying environmental and internal state changes, with top consideration being accuracy, bias and complexity.

Oscilla Power to further develop tech that enables AUVs to recharge themselves using ocean waves

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded Oscilla Power Inc., a company focused on developing advanced technology to extract energy from ocean waves, a $200,000 grant to further develop technology that enables AUVs to recharge themselves using ocean waves. Through their Rotary and Mission Systems group, Oscilla Power will work with Lockheed Martin during this Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR) project to explore how they can equip their AUV and UUV systems with this capability.
