An analysis of the hydrodynamic characteristics and stability of the MAGGIE II towed vehicle system has been performed. The vehicle's hydrodynamic coefficients and mass properties were determined from its geometry. The tail surfaces were sized to provide the required stability; the effects of tail size variations are presented as root locus plots. The vehicle's motions resulting from a heaving motion of the towing vessel have been predicted.
