Abstract

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have been used mainly in naval operations and, in lesser extent, in marine biology and underwater archaeology. Before the ARROWS project, no AUVs specifically designed for archaeological research existed. In the framework of ARROWS, three AUVs were developed with the capabilities to map the seabed, study the discovered objects and penetrate the shipwrecks. In the summer of 2015, two of those AUVs - MARTA and U-CAT were field-tested in Estonia along with two commercially available AUVs. This paper presents the results of the tests.
