Recent military experiences with AVs have consistently demonstrated their value in a wide range of missions, and anticipated developments of AVs hold promise for increasingly significant roles in future naval operations. Advances in AV capabilities are enabled (and limited) by progress in the technologies of computing and robotics, navigation, communications and networking, power sources and propulsion, and materials. Autonomous Vehicles in Support of Naval Operations is a forward-looking discussion of the naval operational environment and vision for the Navy and Marine Corps and of naval mission needs and potential applications and limitations of AVs. This report considers the potential of AVs for naval operations, operational needs and technology issues, and opportunities for improved operations. 606 $aVehicles, Remotely piloted 606 $aRemote control 606 $aRemote submersibles 615 0$aVehicles, Remotely piloted. 615 0$aRemote control. 615 0$aRemote submersibles. 676 $a629.046 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962816303321 996 $aAutonomous vehicles in support of naval operations$94362092 997 $aUNINA
