Control Actuation Reliability and Redundancy for Long Duration Underwater Vehicle Missions with High Value Payloads
نویسنده
چکیده
The current trend is toward requiring undersea vehicles, manned and unmanned, remotely operated or autonomous, to perform ever longer, more demanding, and increasingly critical missions. Longer duration Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) missions will depend on highly reliable control actuation to ensure mission success, survivability of high value payloads, and plausible deniability. This paper presents a detailed trade study of various actuation architecture options available for large UUV control systems, examining electro-hydraulic, electro-mechanical, and electro-hydrostatic technologies.
