The AUV Gamechanger Report 2008-17 considers the prospects for this truly game-changing technology and values the future markets for AUV manufacturers to 2017.
AUV technologies
The AUV Gamechanger Report 2008-17 is geared to the needs of the senior executive and assumes no previous reader knowledge of the subject area. It describes how AUVs fit into the family tree of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), outlines the development of the industry and gives many examples of the various types of AUVs and the technologies involved. Individual sections discuss the fundamental technologies of positioning and obstacle avoidance and main AUV components such as power sources and survey sensors. A number of brief case studies give examples of the application of AUVs in situations ranging from seabed survey to ocean research and mine counter-measures work.
A $1.8 billion market
The Douglas-Westwood AUV market modelling process is based on three scenarios and includes oil & gas, research and military applications. The AUV Gamechanger Report 2008-17 begins with identifying the existing fleet numbers, then examines the market drivers and prospects in each of the main application sectors before developing forecasts basis for total growth prospects to 2017 on a ‘scenario’
