介绍了一种基于铝粉反应的自主式水下航行器（AUV）海水呼吸能量系统。铝与海水的反应提供了能量密度的改善，这将彻底改变长时间的水下操作。虽然该系统是假设的，但关键部件目前正在进行积极的工程研究和开发。因此，本文还更详细地描述了系统的关键组件。该组件开发的技术成熟度表明，开发下一代AUV应用的铝海水燃烧系统是可行的。
This paper describes a hypothetical seawater-breathing autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) energy system based on the reaction of powdered aluminum. The reaction of aluminum with seawater offers improvement in energy density that will revolutionize long duration underwater operation. Although the system is hypothetical, the critical components are currently undergoing active engineering research and development. Consequently, this paper also describes in more detail the critical components of the system. The technical maturity level of this component development suggests that the development of a next-generation aluminum-seawater combustion system for AUV applications is feasible.
