潜水器的研究工作始于四五十年代。最初是有人潜水器,60年代开始研制遥控潜水器(ROV),最近20年重点发展自主潜水器(AUV)。本文涉及的无人潜水器(UUV)包括 ROV 和 AUV。无人潜水器用途重要且广泛UUV 被称为海军的“力量倍增 Submarine research began in the forties and fifties. The first was a manned submersible, which began developing ROVs in the 1960s and a focus on autonomous submarines (AUVs) in the last two decades. The unmanned submersibles (UUVs) covered in this article include ROVs and AUVs. Unmanned submersible use is important and widespread UUV is called the Navy’s “multiplier of power.”
