==Autonomous underwater vehicles== {{main|Autonomous underwater vehicle}} [[File:Blackghost.jpg|thumb|The Blackghost AUV is designed to undertake an underwater assault course autonomously with no outside control.]] An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is a [[robot]] that travels underwater without requiring continuous input from an operator. AUVs constitute part of a larger group of undersea systems known as [[unmanned underwater vehicle]]s, a classification that includes non-autonomous [[remotely operated underwater vehicle]]s (ROVs) – controlled and powered from the surface by an operator/pilot via an umbilical or using remote control. In military applications an AUV is more often referred to as an unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV). [[Underwater glider]]s are a subclass of AUVs.
