AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) are unmanned, untethered submersible robots that are capable of carrying out missions autonomously. Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) which is executive agency of the UK Ministry of Defence, supports AUV development projects of the students. In this respect, DSTL arranges "Student Autonomous Underwater Challenge - Europe (SAUC-E)" annually.
This year SAUC-E 2008 is to be hosted by DGA (France) and held at IFREMER, Brest, France in 7 - 11 July 2008. Soton AUV of the Southampton University is the winner of the SAUC-E 2007. Comprehensive project list of some organizations can be found here.
