Value and promise of the UUV and AUV
Article Abstract:
Unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs) have assured to expand underwater capabilities, enlarge the sphere of battle-space dominance, and limit causalities by performing difficult and dangerous tasks in the littorals, such as Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and mine hunting. Improved technologies in propulsion, control, hydrodynamics, and sensors, have induced many navies to pursue innovation and deployment of UUVs and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to provide more effective means of meeting mission goals.

Electro-optical sensors: how good are they?
Article Abstract:
The improvement in the performance of present day state-of-the-art ship-board infrared sensors and electro-optical systems is due to gain in detection and classification ranges and a decrease in false alarm rates. The future developments in the field of integration of staring infrared sensors in the shipEs topside and algorithm techniques such as SBTR and DSR for improving situational awareness are also discussed.
