摘要

The Coast Guard has declared its intentions to exploit emerging technologies as it moves toward its vision of the Coast Guard in the year 2020. Attaining this vision requires the appropriate integration of technology as part of the solution to close gaps in mission performance. For this to happen, the Coast Guard must make concerted and deliberate efforts to exploit technology, moving effectively from ideation through development, acquisition, implementation, and life-cycle support. The role of the Research and Development (R&D) Center in exploiting technology is to anticipate future needs, create ideas, and insert new technologies. As a platform for various sensors, the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is one such technology with the potential to close the gaps in Coast Guard performance as well as enhance current mission capabilities. This paper addresses the Coast Guard's AUV needs for specific mission areas. The variety and unique nature of Coast Guard missions add a high degree of complexity to technological solutions. In a world where high complexity often equals high cost, development does not always follow a path that resolves the issues encountered by the Coast Guard. By working to articulate its needs now, the Coast Guard hopes to influence AUV development in such a way that off-the-shelf items eventually can meet its operational needs. Several areas show that AUV developments are already taking this path. AUV complexity can be addressed through the ever-reducing costs of computing ability, modularization, sensor packaging, communication networking, and miniaturization. The following mission areas are addressed in this paper: Fisheries Management, Port Safety and Security, and Law Enforcement. For each mission area, an AUV application is described that could meet Coast Guard needs for that particular mission.
