[edit] Material from Unmanned Underwater Vehicle

I am redirecting the above page to here. Here is the rough information that was on that page at the time. I'm copying it here so it is preserved, but I am not sure it can be directly included in the page -- cmh 04:11, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) As indicated by the self-defining name, this describes any of a wide variety of unmanned vehicles which operate underwater.

There are both military and civilian applications, but since it is going to take a while to make this article complete, I want to start with the US Navy's application, and I invite anyone who wishes to help with buiding this to do so.

Using Sea Power 21 for guidance, nine Sub-Pillar capabilities were identified and prioritized: 1. Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance 2. Mine Countermeasures 3. Anti-Submarine Warfare 4. Inspection / Identification 5. Oceanography 6. Communication / Navigation Network Node 7. Payload Delivery 8. Information Operations 9. Time Critical Strike
