TL;DR: A variety of different steps performed to design a new robot and to solve mechanical system problems such as: watertight integrity studies; component arrangement in order to calculate the gravity and buoyancy center; hull deflection; propulsion shaft guiding; physical protection for sensors; etc.
Abstract: The Naval Postgraduate school of Monterey is designing and building a new Autonomous Underwater Vehicle. The new vehicle must use more robust mechanical solutions than the Phoenix version to increase the reliability. Furthermore, the robot should be able to perform mission at a maximal depth of 300 feet. At this depth the pressure will be able to induce hull deflection. This report presents a variety of different steps performed to design a new robot and to solve these mechanical system problems such as: watertight integrity studies; component arrangement in order to calculate the gravity and buoyancy center; hull deflection; propulsion shaft guiding; physical protection for sensors; etc. Finite element simulation has been used to check the hull deflection at test depth and to find a way to increase hull stiffness. This design has been performed using 3D CAD software named I-DEAS. The appendix F presents a simple introduction to this software.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the experiences of operating two AUVs in parallel and the modifications to equipment and protocol to make these operations possible, including a low-altitude, hovering, photo survey vehicle and a broader-coverage sonar mapping vehicle.
Abstract: This paper discusses the experiences of operating two AUVs in parallel and the modifications to equipment and protocol to make these operations possible. The two AUVs include a low-altitude, hovering, photo survey vehicle and a broader-coverage sonar mapping vehicle. At the expense of operational and technical complexities, these two vehicles and their support equipment have been operated together in order to make efficient use of available ship time.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid underwater vehicle (HAUV) is proposed, which is a collaboration concept between sea gliders and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for underwater surveillance.
Abstract: Hybrid autonomous underwater vehicle (HAUV) is a collaboration concept between sea glider and autonomous underwater vehicle. The specific characteristics of sea glider are long endurance, wide range, and limited payload or sensor to support the mission. Different from the AUV as the real surveillance underwater vehicle, they can have almost all range of payloads and emergency system but with limited endurance and range if compared with the sea glider system. Dual concepts of the characteristics will be combined. The main mission for this vehicle is adopted from AUV but for submerge and surfacing mode adopted from sea glider concept with their buoyancy engine. This paper describes a step-by-step method to design this vehicle and some core analysis to support overall design concept and the operation that will be conducted on this hybrid AUV.
