Abstract

JAMSTEC has planned development of a long-rang cruising AUV. This vehicle will enable over 20 days autonomous cruising. To achieve this vehicle, we need various basic technology developments. In this article, a space distributed CPU system development for achieving highly redundant system control and a stationary satellite control system for remote control of the vehicle are described. We carried out sea trial to make sure the each system function using a test bed vehicle. It was shown that the satellite communication system is more effective.
