ground, above or under the water. There are a number of potential applications for AUVs in civilian, military_x000D_
and security areas. Compared to single AUV, systems with multiple AUVs are more effective in various_x000D_
complicated team tasks due to its inherent advantages, including increased accuracy, robustness, flexibility,_x000D_
lower cost, energy efficiency, and probability of success. With the recent advancements in AUV hardware and_x000D_
networked system theory, more and more missions require the cooperation of multiple AUVs. However,_x000D_
cooperation of multiple AUVs also poses many significant theoretical and practical challenges to engineers and_x000D_
designers. The proposed research is therefore very timely, since it aims to advance key technologies in this_x000D_
area. It is also important for developing expertise and talent within Canada needed for the next phases of AUV_x000D_
