Soil Machine Dynamics Ltd (SMD).
Unmanned Underwater Vehicles are those vehicles that are used
underwater for commercial, scientific and military uses without any human
actually going underwater. They can be of two types – Autonomous Underwater
Vehicles and remotely operated Underwater Vehicles (RUVs). Like any other forms
of unmanned vehicles, they have the same problem of communicating underwater
due to water distorting transmissions and other obstacles under the water.
Other hindrances include their inability to work for longer time in underwater
due to lack of power supply. UUVs are very useful in oil and gas industry. They
provide various economical and environmental benefits that reduce costs and
improve efficiency. Thanks to the advent of drones and sensors, it is now
possible to perform additional functions of inspections and monitoring roles as
well. Since there is more demand rising for oil and gas and their dwindling
stocks, companies and governments are increasingly investing in drones and
UUVs.
UUVs in the forecast period will mainly be used for oil and
gas exploration, inspection and monitoring pipelines and oil and gas
operations. The data that is carried from oil rigs and other offshore platforms
provide insights to improve operations, production and efficiency. UUVs inspection
of oil pipelines is likely to open doors for new sources of oil and gas.
Besides them all, UUVs serve as great damage assessment tools and provide
alerts regularly on maintenance. Future trends of UUVs will see them become
smarter and operate efficiently with additional infrastructure like corrosive
tested technologies, gas detectors and infrared cameras and so on. The market
will also see them move from traditional to more flexible, capable and
adaptable UUVs. They will all however face challenges like security, networks
and connectivity,
