This program is the development of technology for unmanned, free-swimming vehicles capable of performing inspection tasks on underwater pipelines and offshore structures. It is an attempt to be quite independent of man - hence the name Experimental Autonomous Vehicle (EAVE). The program is not vehicle-development, nor is it the optimization of the various subsystems for unmanned submersibles. Instead, it is an investigation of technologies existing in the scientific and technological communities for the purpose of establishing and demonstrating new ways of performing basic underwater tasks of potential importance to the Geological Survey's offshore regulatory mission.
