The Autonomous Operations Future Naval Capability (AOFNC) program developed a 12.75 inches diameter autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and a Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS12) payload. This system falls under the lightweight designator of the Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) master plan. Bluefin Robotics Corporation and the Applied Research Laboratory of The Pennsylvania State University (ARL/PSU) developed the vehicle/payload system. In addition to the previous team members, Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City (NSWC PC) developed the synthetic aperture image processing. The system will include motion compensation and beam formation software, real time data handlers, and automatic target recognition algorithms. NSWC PC provided test range services and test planning to the project, as well.
