Abstract

The goal of ORCA is to autonomously launch from Judd Gregg pier and deploy the Blue Robotics ROV on a ~10-minute observational mission. To accomplish this, the following are necessary: GPS waypoint navigation, a tether tensioning system (TTS) able to control the amount of tether out at a given time, and a stable UGPS to triangulate ROV position in relation to a UUV (Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle) stand-in it has deployed. In addition to this, have ORCA autonomously communicate with friendly UAVs (Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle) and detect friend-vs-foe.
