Design of SHRIMP ROV for surveillance and mine sweeper

Abstract

Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) is developed for various applications from civil until military requirement. One of the most important UUV missions is surveillance including mapping of marine resources and monitoring of the sea environment to prevent the destructive activities. Underwater security becomes more crucial for the country that’s have thousands island.  The study comprises the design of special Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, the SHRIMP-ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle). This UUV has special configuration and mechanism that can be functioned as a surveillance agent (observation UUV) and as minesweeper agent. The detail idea, design background and step by step of design methods were observed in this study.
