Unmanned Maritime Systems Engineering

Our Goal

Mission

The mission of the TC on UMSE is to provide an entity within the IEEE for engineering researchers, engineers and practitioners interested to promote AUVs as a research tool. The TC on UMSE will act as an umbrella to organize workshops, special sessions and special journal issues in Marine Dynamics and Engineering related topics. Furthermore our goal is to stimulate growth of this specific TC within the SMCS in order to get more members involved in the activities and to benefit from IEEE membership.

Visions

The aim of the IEEE SMCS TC on UMSE is to focus on the application of cybernetics, human-machine interactions, and systems engineering to AUVs and to introduce a system of systems perspective to it. A systems perspective defines an UMSE system as a set of systems (such as underwater acoustics, and communications, subsea optics and vision) where each system is then an entity that consists of independent and interacting components that function within a specific environment. Furthermore, an UMSE system uses data, processes, networks, people, structures and motivations that work together. A systems perspective endeavors to understand how components and external actions influence the whole as well as other components internally.
