Advances in unmanned marine vehicles

Unmanned marine vehicles (UMVs) include autonomous underwater vehicles, remotely operated vehicles, semi-submersibles and unmanned surface craft.

Considerable importance is being placed on the design and development of such vehicles, as they provide cost-effective solutions to a number of littoral, coastal and offshore problems.

This book highlights the advanced technology that is evolving to meet the challenges being posed in this exciting and growing area of research.
