Completed

Topics

This consensus study assessed the potential of unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs) in enhancing U.S. naval operations. The study identified missions and environments in which UUVs might be called to operate, as well barriers that might inhibit mission success; evaluated the Department of the Navy’s technology activities for UUVs; and recommended operational, technical, and acquisition approaches that would more rapidly mainstream UUVs into future naval operations.
