ABSTRACT:
An expendable underwater vehicle for use in training naval forces in anti-submarine warfare in ocean waters is between about three to five feet in length and about five inches in diameter, and it is field programmable. The expendable underwater vehicle can be programmed in the field at the location where the vehicle actually will be used as a training device. A system for field programming the vehicle comprises a run geometry generator and a portable interface module. The run geometry generator downloads the operational parameters to the portable interface module, and the portable interface module then downloads the operational parameters into the vehicle. These operational parameters are stored in the vehicle and then used by the vehicle during an in-water run.
