Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV) are self-propelled vehicles, typically deployed from a surface vessel without any human operator onboard. These vehicles are designed to operate independently (or by a remote controller) for periods ranging from a few hours to several days.UUVs have received significant attention worldwide and increasingly being widely used across numerous applications. Some of the popular applications of UUV include surveillance, reconnaissance, mine countermeasures, ocean floor mapping, pipeline inspection, polar ice research, anti—submarine warfare and several others.
The most prominent factor driving the overall UUV market include consistently rising investment by the defense departments on undersea drones. UUVs are capable of operating in conditions where humans are incapable of reaching. This makes UUVs highly suitable for performing difficult tasks submerged in water. Another major factor fueling the market growth is the growing adoption of these drones from the oil & gas sector. Nevertheless, factors such as limited battery life andunderwater communication barriers pose significant barrier to the market growth.
