An upgraded version of our fifth generation autonomous submarine, SubjuGator, will compete in the 2006 AUVSI/
ONR 9th International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition from
August 2-August 6, 2006.
We have rebuilt our 2005 SubjuGator for this competiton, with about 70% new parts.
Almost all of the electronics are new and we have a new body, new hard points, new external
electronic box and a new hydrophone array.
The 2006 SubjuGator is designed to operate underwater at depths in excess of 15 feet.
The mission behavior of SubjuGator is controlled by a network of I2C modules.
This system includes sensors, motor controllers, more than 10 microcontrollers, and
other necessary peripherals. A single-board Pentium M based computer running the Windows
XP Embedded operating system provides processing power for the vision system and advanced
signal processing.
