Abstract | The AUV "C-SCOUT" is being jointly developed by the National Research Council Canada - Institute for Marine Dynamics (NRC-IMD) and the Ocean Engineering Research Centre at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN-OERC) with the support of several Canadian companies and universities. In its current configuration, the vehicle is torpedo-shaped, with an overall length of 2.70 metres and a diameter of 0.40 metres. In December 2002, the authors conducted propulsion tests on the full scale "C-SCOUT" vehicle, at the towing tank of the OERC. This paper reports results from those tests. |
