Next-Generation Unmanned Ocean Vehicle Project Team

As a next-generation mobile platform for ocean utilization and development, the utilization of unmanned ocean vehicles such as AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) is advancing worldwide. In Japan, to support the related research and development, an AUV Strategy Project Team overseeing unmanned ocean vehicle strategies has been established within the Advisory Council of the Integrated Maritime Policy Headquarters, the Japanese government. This project team aims to support such national efforts at the field level and to contribute to society by carrying out leading research and development to be at the forefront globally.
