Methods of modeling of an underwater unmanned vehicle (UUV)

The use of unmanned vehicle has been highly increasing during the last years, in the Aerospace and Underwater fields. There are continuous needs in territory surveillance and protection by use of unmanned vehicles in the Aerospace and Marine fields. For this reason, it is important to conceive and develop techniques to model, optimize and enhance the efficiency of these vehicles. The Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) may have many applications in the main following fields:
