TL;DR: In this paper, the design and development of an autonomous surface water vehicle (ASV) and subsequent discoveries have been outlined, and simulated data from the ASVs have been analyzed as a demonstration of sampling techniques and instrument viability.
Abstract: Marine organisms such as phytoplankton and zooplankton are sensitive to the spatial and temporal patchiness of their ecosystems. Properties such as temperature can greatly influence their movement, growth, and survivability. Current efforts towards patch detection have focused on satellite, seaglider, and CTD data of open ocean hydrodynamics. This project aims to tackle an insufficiently studied area of patchiness; estuarine and lake fine scale measurements. This paper outlines the design and development of an autonomous surface water vehicle (ASV) and subsequent discoveries. Simulated data from the ASVs have been analyzed as a demonstration of sampling techniques and instrument viability. Data taken using these ASVs could be used to further research into biogeochemical cycles and their relation to fine scale estuarine and lake patch dynamics.

TL;DR: In this article, a small transceiver was designed and developed for use aboard an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV), which was used to provide two way high speed communications between UUV and ground station over the FLTCOM Satellite.
Abstract: A small transceiver was designed and developed for use aboard an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV). The transceiver was used to provide two way high speed communications between UUV and ground station over the FLTCOM Satellite. The satellite communication link was successfully demonstrated on 28 September 1988 using the Sea Lion submersible which was controlled in the Patuxent River by a shore based station. This is the first time that and high speed long range communications link has been established between a UUV and ground station over satellite. This is the first step and represents a major breakthrough in solving a key technology needed for autonomous underwater vehicle development.
