Title:

Marine And Naval Technological Advancements for Robotic AutonomY (MANTARAY): KRILL DEVELOPMENT: US Navy's Unpiloted Underwater Vehicle

KRILL is a 3D-printed Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle (UUV) designed by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Keyport Division to act as a low-cost, modular, and mission-adaptable testing and sensor platform. The goal for KRILL's project team is to deploy the UUV with tele-operated thrusters and servos for control in six degrees of freedom. KRILL is a part of the Navy’s newly developed additively manufactured modular UUV technology. KRILL will be used for underwater communications, imaging, and data collection. The KRILL team members are Colby Tuttle, Ian Lindberg, Kendall Boniecki, and Annie Duong with advising from faculty member Dr. May-Win Thein. Work completed by the KRILL team during academic year 2022-2023 included waterproofing KRILL, evaluating options for redesign, developing and integrating control systems, and analyzing buoyancy and ballasting.
