2 operational tech testbed 1980 EPAULARD 1985 NAUTILE SIRENE - AUV «autonomous landing» 1998 VICTOR 6000 SWIMMER - AUV «autonomous docking» 2001 ALIVE-AUV «autonomous intervention» 2003 GREX Coordinated AUV/USV-fleet AUVs aster X & idef X 2

3 Rand D versus operationnal systems After Epaulard, developed for polymetalic nodules survey program, Ifremer has frosen AUV Development and has focused on Deep Sea ROV and Manned Sub Nautile mainly for deep sea research observation and intervention. Contributive R and D mainly active in collaboration in the offshore domain since 1993 with numerous world first in intervention and inspection AUV (SIRENE,ALIVE,WIMMER): Technological and economical push Evolution of programs from «observation» to «survey» of the environment : new tools are needed to optimized data collection and interpretation Scientifical and operational programs pull 3
