New ASTM Committee to Develop Standards

ASTM International announced the formation of ASTM Committee F41 on Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) Systems. This important standards initiative was driven by the co-operative efforts of the US Navy and UUV industry stakeholders to facilitate new UUV system designs and enable next-generation applications.
F41 brings together technical experts from the UUV industry, federal government, trade associations and academia to develop voluntary consensus standards pertaining to UUV design, safety and performance including autonomy and control architecture, communications and mission payload interfaces.
