An economical design of an AUV for navigation and Ocean Floor Research

In this paper we propose a design of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle that can perform some primary functions and can be of great relevance to numerous underwater predicaments for the researchers. We are focussing on fields like Vehicle Hydrodynamics, Underwater Propulsion, Underwater Sensing, Mechanical Systems, Underwater Acoustics and Power Systems. Formulating our design on all the above characteristics we wish to focus on divisions of Defence and Ocean floor Research.
