The objective of this project is to develop AUVs with a continuous operation duration of more than 48 hours, which together with the ground station will establish a system with adaptive sampling implementation that will allow planning between high-level objectives defined by the operator and local adaptation performed on board the vehicle.

Hydrodynamic and propulsion improvements, use of new energy storage technologies and development of algorithms for planning and controlling the execution of operations that minimize vehicle consumption.
