Unmanned underwater vehicles

AUV: autonomous underwater vehicles ROV: remotely operated underwater vehicles This industry involves companies that manufacture Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV). AUVs are vessels that can travel underwater without an operator on their own source of power. AUVs are used in commercial industries (oil and gas), for military missions as well as for research purposes. This industry provides maintenance services for AUV as well as manufactures AUVs in different configurations for depths less than 200m as well as greater than 200m. Furthermore, the products (AUVs) are divided into three categories: 1. 200 meters+ depth of water (30% of the market) 2. Up to 200 meters depth of water (40%) 3. Up to 30 meters of water (30%)
