After major support in the early years of development of the unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV), military support for technology declined just as commercial interest picked up. Today, large commercial UUVs are employed in offshore oil fields and pipeline route surveys. In addition, the academic community is pushing the technology related to small, low-cost vehicles. Enhanced by the high rate of commercial implementation of UUVs, the military has renewed interest in the leverage provided by UUVs. Submarines, surface ships and small inflatable craft are approaching operational status as platforms for UUVs. Although the initial UUVs used by the Navy are large, relatively high-cost vehicles, an exciting trend is toward smaller, low-cost UUVs that can work together to complete assigned missions.
