Global Unmanned Underwater Vehicles Market: Overview

Unmanned underwater vehicles, also known as underwater drones, are operated underwater without an operator onboard. These vehicles can be categorized in to two types namely, autonomous underwater vehicle and remotely operated underwater vehicle. Autonomous underwater vehicle does not require human input for functioning as it travels underwater without requirement of operator. Remotely operated underwater vehicle is controlled remotely by human operators. Unmanned underwater vehicle is designed with multiple cameras and payload. Availability of various types of unmanned underwater vehicles designed for different applications is making end users more inclined towards its usage.
