An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) including a hydrogen fuel cell is provided. The fuel cell control computer is a separate, stand-alone control system that interfaces with a vehicle control computer (VCC) to ensure safe operation of the fuel cell system. Relay logic for disabling the fuel cell enables the VCC to determine if the fuel cell has shut down, ensuring that the AUV system does not send power to the fuel cell system if there are unsafe conditions.
