Abstract
The autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) has become important means of ocean observation. In this paper, we have based on the characteristics of AUV to design an ARMs 2.0 autonomous vehicle that satisfies requirements for water surface and underwater operations. It adopts a modular cabin structure design to easily replace or add equipment required for different missions. The new rim driven propeller is used as the stern main thruster. Through comparative test analysis, the different characteristics such as roll and noise brought by the rim propulsion AUV are verified, and the experimental basis conditions for the subsequent design optimization algorithm are provided. The vehicle has perfect navigation, communication and perception capabilities, as well as safe self-rescue capabilities in emergency and dangerous situations, and can reliably carry out path search and target detection missions in a harsh marine environment.
