- Underwater gliders - An underwater glider is a type of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that uses small changes in its buoyancy in conjunction with wings to convert vertical motion to horizontal, and thereby propel itself forward with very low power consumption. While not as speedy, this enables a major increase in range and duration compared to vehicles propelled by ...
- Remotely operated vehicle - Remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) is the common accepted name for tethered underwater robots in the offshore industry. ROVs are unoccupied, highly maneuverable and operated by a person aboard a vessel.
- Swimmer Delivery Vehicle - Swimmer Delivery Vehicles (SDVs) are midget submersibles designed to transport combat swimmers from a combat swimmer unit or naval Special Forces underwater, over long distances. SDVs carry a pilot, co-pilot, and combat swimmer team and their equipment, to and from maritime mission objectives on land or at sea.
