Research on Unmanned Underwater Vehicle Threat Assessment

The unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) plays an ever increasing and important role in the modern marine environment. In particular, the tasks of underwater reconnaissance and surveillance, underwater mine hunting and anti-submarine warfare, all poses a serious and dangerous threat to humans. UUV has...
