  Unmanned marine vehicles   can be defined as robotic systems that can be operated both below and above the water surface without any human operator. These vehicles can range from very small vessels to mid-sized ships or small submarines. They are equipped with several sensors in order to record environment-related data and determine the vehicle course and response. These vehicles are remotely operated and are deployed in areas that are not reachable for humans. The information received by these vehicles is managed centrally. The unmanned marine vehicle market has witnessed significant growth over the last two decades. These vehicles have a wide range of applications including oceanographic survey, hydrographic survey, environmental monitoring, marine security, underwater photography, marine patrolling, and other applications in sectors such as defense, commercial, and scientific research. In Antarctica, unmanned marine vehicles are used for underwater topographic survey...
