REDERMOR: an experimental platform for ROV/AUV field sea trials

This paper describes the vehicle named REDERMOR. This is an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) designed and manufactured by GESMA. The paper fully describes the vehicle and its components, its different versions and how it was designed. The sea trials realised and their main results are presented. This vehicle is now involved in the project Non traditional Navigation in order to increase the autonomy of UUV. Redermor could be considered as an experimental platform for ROV/AUV field sea trials.
