HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE COMPLEX OF AUTONOMOUS UNMANNED UNDERWATER VEHICLE: OVERVIEW

Abstract

The article considers the construction structure and management organization of a multi-purpose autonomous unmanned underwater vehicle and hardware and software complexes used in the development of a multi-purpose AUUV complex. The most common hardware and software complexes and their configuration for building an on-board computer that controls the device are given and described. Auxiliary software for the development of a ground station for monitoring and controlling the AUUV is given. For each considered software complex, microcontrollers compatible with this complex are given. Single-board computers and their difference from microcontrollers, which can be applied and used as auxiliary equipment in the formation of an AUUV on-board computer and a ground monitoring and control station, are considered. As a result of the study, the advantages and disadvantages of using known hardware and software complexes and the difficulties that may arise when using open source hardware and software complexes are revealed. Prospects for the use of single-board computers in the construction of both a ground control station and an single board computer are presented. Comparing the advantages and disadvantages of open-source hardware and software complexes and the prospects for using single-board computers, it was concluded that in order to build a reliable AUUV complex, it is necessary to develop own hardware and software that can ensure the reliability and stability of the device's operation and the protection of communication channels from external interference and radio interference. The use of single-board computers will make it possible to select primary information sensors that are most satisfactory in terms of characteristics and stability of the output signal, such as microelectromechanical sensors: accelerometers, gyroscopes.
