    Two researchers on a small motorboat are handling a yellow and green autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) or torpedo-shaped instrument over open water. The image is captured with a wide-angle fisheye lens, giving a distorted panoramic view of the scene. Both individuals are wearing personal flotation devices and appear to be preparing to deploy or recover the underwater device.

    Amy Kukulya and Tom Austin, both from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, prepare to launch a Remote Environmental Monitoring Unit (REMUS) during Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Fest 2007, hosted by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City and sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. Capable of performing rapid environmental surveys, REMUS also functions as an underwater mine reconnaissance device for the Navy's mine countermeasures program. AUV Fest is the largest in-water demonstration of unmanned underwater, surface, air and ground vehicles.
