Abstract
The National Institute for Undersea Science and Technology operates two AUVs, Eagle Ray and Mola Mola that are primarily tasked with performing seafloor surveys. Upcoming missions will require surveys at 1200 to 1600 meters depth, so the vehicles are being prepared with new and updated systems and software. Recently, Eagle Ray was equipped with new batteries and a subbottom profiler. A descent weight system was added to Mola Mola, along with a revised power system and new mission capabilities. © 2012 IEEE.
