Uncrewed Vehicles (UxVs) in the maritime domain
views
During the last years, uncrewed systems entering more the maritime domain; driven by security and safety needs as well by automation of routine tasks. The development of uncrewed and autonomous systems is driven by the advances from the artificial intelligence research, high bandwidth communication over longer distances with increased networking capabilities and by robotics and cybernetics systems.
Autonomous ships are one development of this topic, but this evening will focus on smaller systems, which are operating underwater and on the water surface. These uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs), with its specialized implementations as AUVs, ROVs and ROTVs, and uncrewed surface vehicles USVs operate in situations where crewed vessels operations are too
expensive, dangerous or not be able to be executed by operational constraints. The different presentations will show some development in this area and present
some of the use cases.
