Anvar}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {This paper describes a feasibility study that is included with the research, development and testing of a micro communications sonobuoy deployable by Maritime Fixed wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (M-UAV) and rotor wing Quad Copters which are both currently being developed by the University of Adelaide. The micro communications sonobuoy is developed to act as a seamless communication relay between an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) and an above water human operator some distance away. Development of such a device would eliminate the requirement of physical communication tethers attached to submersible vehicles for control and data retrieval.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {6}, number = {10}, year = {2012}, pages = {2142 - 2146}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9088}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/70}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 70, 2012}, }
