Sažetak
Underwater mine-countermeasures (MCM) present a complex problem which is conventionally resolved with the help of human divers. This action is of high risk, expensive and time consuming. Failure during underwater MCM activities results in human casualties and underwater habitat devastation in a range much wider that the one expected on surface. Due to these reasons, an MCM procedure with two unmanned marine vehicles is employed. This paper will describe an MCM scenario developed in cooperation with the NATO Undersea Research Centre (NURC), La Spezia, Italy. The concept includes cooperation between an unmanned autonomous catamaran (ASV) and an unmanned automatic underwater vehicle (UUV). The ASV is equipped with a sonar which is used to detect suspicious objects on the seabed. After an object had been detected, the UUV is deployed from the ASV (which is on a safe distance). The UUV then automatically, by using navigation data from the ASV sonar and hydro-acoustic communication, approaches the target and engages in further activities (danger confirmation or neutralization).
