This document discusses autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), which are robots that can operate underwater without human presence. It describes the key parameters of AUVs, including sensors, navigation, propulsion, power, and communication systems. Some common sensors are sonar, depth sensors, and magnetometers. Most AUVs use propeller-based thrusters powered by electric motors and batteries. Applications of AUVs include commercial, military, and scientific uses such as ocean exploration and anti-submarine warfare.

2. INTRODUCTION
 An autonomous underwater vehicles, is a robot
or a vehicles that are able to operate underwater
without a human occupant.
 These vehicles may be divided into two
categories
 Remotely operated vehicles
 Autonomous vehicles

3. VARIOUS PARAMETERS OF
AUVS
 Sensor system and Processing
 Navigation
 Propulsion
 Power and Energy
 Communication

4. SENSORS
# Sonar Technique:-
* Passive Sonar
* Active Sonar
The typical Sensors include :-
 Depth Sensor
 Side Scan
 Other Sensor
 Magnetometers
 Conductivity

5. NAVIGATION:

6. PROPULSION
 AUVs can rely on number of propulsion techniques,
but propeller based thrusters are the most common
by far. These thrusters are powered by electric motor
which is powered by batteries.

7. POWER
 Most AUVs in used today are powered by
rechargeable batteries
 Primary batteries: provide perhaps twice
endurance
 Fuel cells: electricity generate using the
chemical reaction of Hydrogen combines with
oxygen

8. APPLICATIONS
i. Commercial
ii. Military
iii. Scientist uses AUVs to study lakes, the ocean,
the ocean floor.
iv. Anti-submarine warfare.
v. Measurement of concentration of various
elements.

9. FUTURE POSSIBILITIES
 AUVs are now at an early stage of acceptance .
As they work there way into the phase of
operational acceptance on a commercial level ,
their numbers will grow.
