Propulsion & Control
Motor control, thrust management and control-surface actuation.
UUV RESEARCH PROGRAM
Experimental underwater systems from bench-top control to autonomy.
The UUV program investigates propulsion, control, stabilization, sensing, telemetry and autonomous operation through progressively more capable unmanned underwater vehicle prototypes.
PROPULSIONIMUCONTROLTELEMETRYAUTONOMY
Stabilization
IMU-informed feedback for attitude sensing and progressively closed-loop control.
Navigation & Telemetry
Architecture for command, state reporting, mission data and future autonomous behaviors.
DEVELOPMENT PATH
Increase complexity only after the fundamentals work.
Bench-top subsystem testing
Validate motors, drivers, controls, sensors and software independently.
Integrated prototype
Combine propulsion, control surfaces and sensing into a test vehicle.
Telemetry & stabilization
Add feedback, logging and communications for controlled trials.
Progressive autonomy
Introduce mission logic and autonomous behaviors after reliable manual operation.
