LDUUV endurance: Unlocking the Potential of the Ocean Depths
Large Displacement Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (LDUUVs) are poised to revolutionize underwater operations. With their extended endurance capabilities, these autonomous platforms offer unprecedented access to the ocean’s depths. This paper explores the critical role of endurance in LDUUV performance, examining how extended mission durations can significantly enhance the capabilities of various end-users. By delving into the technological advancements driving increased endurance, we highlight the potential applications across sectors such as oceanography, defense, and commercial industries. Ultimately, this research demonstrates how LDUUV endurance is key to unlocking the full potential of the ocean’s vast resources and addressing critical global challenges.
