ABSTRACT: An autonomous underwater vehicle (AW), named MARIUS, has been
developed under the MAST Programme of the Commission of the European
Communities. The primary envisioned missions of the prototype AW are
environmental surveying and oceanographic data acquisition in coastal
waters. The authors describe the design and implementation of the AW
systems for vehicle and mission control, and report the results of the
sea trials conducted with the vehicle in Sines, Portugal
