Bluefin SandShark Micro-AUVs Conduct Simulated Missions with a Bluefin-21 UUV
The General Dynamics Bluefin SandShark is a small (~4 ft), open-platform, autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). It combines a standardized low-cost tail with core vehicle systems, a large modular payload area, and an open development platform. In this simulated exercise, operators deploy two General Dynamics Bluefin SandSharks micro-AUVs from a larger, deep-water rated Bluefin-21 Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV). The mission includes intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and neutralization of a potential threat.
