"Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) were
originally designed to protect surface vessels
and ports from mines. The use of navies in
peacekeeping and stability missions, where law
enforcement is as much an aspect of operations
as force projection, combined with the demands
of littoral warfare and the ever-present threat of
terrorism on critical infrastructure like ports, are
giving rise to new types of AUVs that are also
engineered to counter unconventional threats."
