Analysis on the Development Trend and Key Technologies of Unmanned Underwater Equipment

Abstract

Unmanned underwater equipment is a new commanding heights in maritime military because it would guarantee victory in underwater battles in the future. In this paper, unmanned undersea vehicles and unmanned underwater preset systems are considered as examples to classify development trends and key technologies in unmanned underwater equipment. The development trends of unmanned underwater equipment and their existing challenges are discussed summarizing its development status at national and global levels. Accordingly, the key technical difficulties to be overcome in the development are identified, and the future development thinking and suggestions are proposed to provide useful reference for the research of unmanned underwater equipment technology.
