Course Objective

Within the scope of this course, graduate students graduating from different undergraduate disciplines will be informed about basic issues related to the design and production of unmanned marine vehicle types. By making a general classification of unmanned marine vehicles through the course, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic characteristics of ROVs (Remotely Operated underwater Vehicle), ASVs (Autonomous Surface Vehicle or UMV: Unmanned Marine Vehicle) and AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle or UUV: Unmanned Underwater Vehicle), especially their stability and viscous resistances will be examined in detail, first of all in terms of form. Then, the missions where they are used, and their functionality will be discussed. The materials used in their manufacture will be analysed, and their production technologies will be examined. In addition, the batteries and devices they are equipped with according to their tasks and their autonomy levels, navigation systems, propulsion and control features will be mentioned. Simple designs will be performed by using modelling and "computational fluid dynamics" software.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   1- To be able to classify unmanned marine vehicles according to their forms and mission characteristics, to have basic knowledge about these vehicles.
2   2- Having basic knowledge about the forms, building components and building materials of different types of unmanned surface and underwater marine vehicles, understanding and applying their basic design criteria.
3   3- To be able to approximately calculate the resistance components of different types of unmanned surface and underwater marine vessels.
4   4- To have basic knowledge about propulsion systems, efficiencies, navigation and movement systems of all unmanned marine vehicles.
5   5- To be able to perform computational fluid dynamics analysis of certain types of unmanned marine vessels with the help of software.
6   6- To have basic knowledge about the autonomy levels of underwater and surface vehicles.
