Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) are being developed to provide more effective mine detection and neutralization at lower risk than conventional methods. To be effective, UUVs must be small and highly maneuverable, which limits their range and mission duration. An Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) can be used to overcome this limitation by carrying several mini-UUVs into an area of operations, eliminating the requirement to expend power to travel to the operational area. Bluefin Robotics Corp. and Brooke Ocean Technology Ltd. conducted a study to develop, evaluate, and select innovative concepts for automated launch and recovery systems that can deploy multiple UUVs from USVs. A concept architecture was also created for an Asset Control System that coordinates autonomous operations among the support ship, USV, UUVs and L AND R system. This includes an Operator Tool Suite that serves as a top level operator interface.
