4. Uncrewed, Remotely Piloted & Autonomous Systems
Small, relatively inexpensive, and available. We want to expand this element in UDT 2023, and technical papers on the design and operations of unmanned, remotely piloted or autonomous systems (attack and defensive systems) are sought. Considerations should be made to the human-machine integration, and the supporting role military diving can play in using small, or tactical systems. In particular, papers that discuss the following will be welcomed:
- Autonomy and automated decision support
- Energy storage and conversion
- Communication and networked operation of UUV/ AUV
- Underwater sensors for USV
- Improving Survivability
- Strengths and weaknesses of uncrewed systems in underwater warfare
- Further development of uncrewed vehicles in MCM
- Command and control of uncrewed systems and their integration into operations
- Verification/validation of uncrewed systems
- Teaming and exploitation of crewed and uncrewed systems
- Planning and Evaluation tools
- Autonomous systems and the moral dilemma
