Maritime robots for survey and security UNDERWATER VEHICLES Maritime investigations, measurements and inspections with autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) are a core element of ATLAS Elektronik to discover the underwater resources for economic use as well as for the protection of maritime facilities. The operation under extreme and diffi cult environmental conditions requires the use of robots of the newest technology with high degree of automation and extreme navigation accuracy. Willi Hornfeld Economic use of the seas and oceans as well as protection of the ports and their access has a top-ranking position – the maritime market has reached world-wide an enormous order of magnitude. In this market a German company in general has not only a strong position, but in some special maritime engineering fi elds even a top place. In this environment the substantial target areas of the German maritime technologies are: � The strongly growing and important market segments such as oil and gas production from the sea bottom, underwater mining, exploration and exploitation of gas hydrates, etc.. � Maritime Homeland Security, one of the highest priority missions around the world with the strategic objectives � Prevent terrorist attacks within and terrorist exploitation of the national domain � Reduce the countries vulnerability to terrorism within the maritime domain � Protect the population centres, critical infrastructure, maritime borders, ports, coastal approaches, and the boundaries and seams between them � Protect the marine transportation � Minimize the damage and recover from attacks that may occur in the maritime domain as either the lead federal agency or a supporting agency. One of the core elements for a Maritime Homeland Security is the protection of harbours, a razor edge of danger. Sea Ports and Sea Lanes are the primary gateways for global trade and commerce. Ports are the nerve centers of the international supply chain network. Operational drop-outs of any of such critical hubs and bottlenecks will hence generate consequential damages on a truly global scale. The European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO) determines that “the Eu- � Fig. 1: ATLAS’ UUV family Schiff & Hafen | June 2008 | No. 6 3 Special
