The Unmanned Free-Swimming Submersible (UFSS) vehicle was designed and built at NRL in order to demonstrate and evaluate advanced technologies as applied to underwater vehicles. A review is given of the features of the various subsystems used in the vehicle as well as the trade-offs considered in their initial design. A report is also given of a series of preliminary tests carried out at Solomons, Maryland, and recommendations are made for further testing at sea. Finally, a set of applications which are of near-term interest to the Navy is briefly reviewed. (Author)
