A two-day workshop will be held on power systems development in light of the fact that no one power system will solve the needs for all small underwater vehicles, i.e., swimmers, autonomous, and remotely operated underwater vehicles (AUV/ROB). Traditionally, electrical storage batteries have been used almost exclusively to meet the energy needs of small underwater vehicles. Although these batteries are easy, relatively safe, and convenient to use, their size and weight severely limit the mission length for an underwater vehicle. New developments in power systems will enhance the designer's options to develop a vehicle to perform its mission be it; antisubmarine warfare, surveillance, pipeline inspection, cable laying or oceanographic data collection.
