Bio-inspired Underwater Teams
AI Overview
This STTR seeks bio-inspired underwater vehicle teams that leverage schooling hydrodynamics to achieve superior efficiency, range, and stealth compared to conventional designs. Proposals should demonstrate untethered UUVs (1-5 meters) reaching 4+ meters/second while minimizing acoustic signatures and optimizing cost of transport.
This summary is AI-generated from the official solicitation.
Key Details
Official Description
Bio-inspired underwater vehicles have nearly matched the speeds and efficiencies of real fish. Now, these platforms are on the cusp of operating as multiagent teams, which would further improve efficiency and unlock novel mission utility. Recent work has shown how the hydrodynamic benefits of schooling can be translated into groups of underwater vehicles. In this STTR, the use of physical models and 3D simulations of sufficient fidelity are expected to enable exploration and understanding of the...
