The air trajectory planned studied of the high-altitude long-range gliding unmanned underwater vehicle (HALRG-UUV) based on segmented control strategy is proposed. The aim of this research is twofold. On the one hand, specifying an altitude penetration strategy at the end of the gliding stage was presented with the aim of improving the vehicle glide ratio and achieving penetration. On the other hand, a rocket deceleration strategy was applied to adjust the speed and attitude of the vehicle in order to meet the water entry requirement. Besides, six-degrees-of-freedom mathematical model of the HALRG-UUV was developed based on the Newton’s law. Dynamic simulations of the vehicle under various conditions were performed with the aid of the MATLAB/Simulink codes. The result shows that the vehicle has a glide ratio of 1/9 in the air trajectory and meets the water entry requirement above water. This study lays the foundation for the further research of maneuverability and water impact of the vehicle.

Nowadays, in technology, humans use machines, mobile devices and robots to make the work easier, effective and faster. However, in Malaysia, there is still a lack of underwater vehicles used for inspection or investigation on the seafloor. The aim of this project is to develop the Remotely Operated Unmanned Underwater Vehicle for underwater Inspection (ROU-VUI) which has a compact size and low cost. This mobile device will act as a pre-screening for detecting underwater problems and for explorations where high-resolution cameras are used for real-time monitoring and recording the video for further analysis. The controller used is Arduino microcontroller and MDSS10A smart drive motor to control the movement of the mobile. The graphical user interface (GUI) LabVIEW is designed to make the inspection and monitoring process easier when it is in the water. An operator will observe the underwater vehicle via a camera that links to the smart phone and graphical user interface.
