Many autonomous underwater vehicles have been recently developed and successfully deployed for various oceanographic, industry and defence applications. Two important aspects in these applications are that they are expensive to produce and that they are mostly one-off products or only a few ofa kind are built that disallows quality control techniques that are used in mass production. This proposal aims to build a system to reduce the chance of AUVs malfunctioning or becoming irrecoverably lost, hence indirectly the proposal aims to reduce the effective operational cost of AUVs. The project is to build onthe many years of experience of designing, building and operatingAUVs at the National Oceanography Centre at Southampton University. The main parts of the propose system are and fault assessment system (IFAS), design optimization tool for overall operational reliability (DOPTOR) and human interface for daily operation (HIDO) .The cost of development of the proposed system is relatively low and the cost of loss of an AUVs is very high. The design system would pay for itself for a single user. Collateral benefits of the proposal are that the methodology generated is largely transferable to users other than the collaborators and also to other types of costly autonomous vehicles on land and in air.

最近开发并成功部署了许多自主水下航行器，用于各种海洋、工业和国防应用。这些应用中的两个重要方面是，它们的生产成本很高，而且它们大多是一次性产品，或者只有少数几种产品是不允许大规模生产中使用的质量控制技术的。这项提案旨在建立一个系统，以减少AUV发生故障或无法挽回丢失的机会，因此间接地，该提案旨在降低AUV的有效运营成本。该项目将建立在南安普顿大学国家海洋学中心多年设计、建造和操作AUV的经验基础上。该系统的主要组成部分是故障评估系统(IFAS)、总体运行可靠性优化设计工具(DOPTOR)和日常运行人机界面(HIDO)，开发成本相对较低，而AUV的损失成本很高。设计系统将为单个用户自己买单。该提议的附带好处是，所产生的方法在很大程度上可以转移给合作者以外的用户，也可以转移到其他类型的昂贵的陆上和空中自动驾驶车辆。
