With the constant possibility of U.S. naval action in the Straits of
Hormuz in international waters off Iran, it’s appropriate that Bluefin
Robotics announced that its Hull Unmanned Underwater Vehicle-3 (HAUV-3)
has completed Government Acceptance Testing as the production system for
the Explosive Ordnance Disposal HUAV Localization System program,
according to a Bluefin press release.
The HAUV-3 is designed to autonomously perform ship hull inspection and obtain 100 percent sonar coverage, a task typically performed by divers to secure ports and harbors.
The week prior to the formal Government Acceptance Testing, Bluefin provided training to Navy personnel and they operated the HAUV-3 in several in-water operational scenarios as part of the formal testing. The system demonstrated increased operational speeds and nearly twice as much endurance as its predecessor, the prototype HAUV-2, according to the company.
