Robotic submarines are becoming central to future navies. They are driving projects like EDA’s SPHYDA to reduce acoustic noise through advanced modelling, stealth design, and hydrodynamic optimization for quieter, longer-endurance autonomous underwater vehicles.

Learning Outcomes 

  • Explain how autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are integrated into future naval strategies and why they are becoming essential for maritime security.
  • Analyse the Challenges of Stealth and Noise Reduction in Underwater Robotics.
  • Assess advanced design approaches used to improve stealth and reduce environmental impact.
