Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for underwater use. In one example the system includes an autonomous mother unmanned underwater vehicle (AMUV) and one or more auxiliary unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV). The AMUV is configured for autonomously searching for and detecting undersea objects potentially present in an undersea region of interest (ROI), for generating object information relating to the objects detected thereby to enable identification of at least one object of interest (OOI) among the detected objects, and for selectively transporting the UUV to at least within a predetermined distance from a location of the OOI. The UUV is configured for interacting with the OOI at least within the predetermined distance. Such a system is further configured for providing verification information indicative of the interaction between the UUV and the OOI. The AMUV includes a communications system at least configured for transmitting at one or both of the verification information and the object information.

Claim (Index 62):
A method for underwater use, comprising the steps of:\n providing an autonomous mother unmanned underwater vehicle (AMUV) and at least one auxiliary unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV); operating the AMUV for autonomously searching for and detecting undersea objects potentially present in an undersea region of interest (ROI), including generating object information relating to the objects detected; autonomously processing said object information to thereby provide control information indicative that a respective said object has been identified as being an object of interest (OOI); selectively transporting said at least one UUV to at least within a predetermined distance from a location of said at least one OOI; and causing said at least one UUV to autonomously interact with said at least one OOI at least within said predetermined distance, responsive to said control information being provided, wherein said interaction comprises neutralizing the at least one OOI.
