DeepStar Future Vision for Autonomous Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance (IRM)  AUVs offer significant improvements in safety and operating efficiencies as well as substantial reductions in cost over current methods: –No divers or umbilical in the water –Smaller vessels and fewer people at sea –Faster, more efficient inspection operations –Vessel independent, permanent presence for remote locations and hostile environments  AUVs will leverage a wide range of inspection sensors and technologies, including video, photographic, sonar, laser, ultrasonic, magnetic, and others  AUVs offer high potential for future intervention capabilities such as sampling, data harvesting, and valve operations that will achieve improved safety and operating efficiencies 4 AUVs will become an increasingly important tool for IRM Operations

DeepStar Task Motivation The development of industry standards for AUV interfaces, similar to the API standards for ROVs, will:  Lead to compatible system designs by AUV vendors and field hardware manufacturers, and  Enable safer, more efficient and cost effective operations of subsea fields. 5 Future capabilities and benefits of AUVs will be substantially enhanced through the use of standardized interfaces with subsea facilities

DeepStar Preliminary List of AUV Interfaces for Standardization 6 Standardization must consider both Greenfield and Brownfield Applications Docking Battery Charging Communications: o Supervisory Communications o Video and Data transfer o Data Harvesting Mechanical Intervention

DeepStar Several Industry Developments involving AUV Interfaces for Deepwater Fields are Already Underway  SWIMMER (Total / Technip)  AIV (Subsea 7 / SeeByte)  Sabertooth (Saab SeaEye)  Marlin (Lockheed Martin) 7 Early Standardization of Interfaces will benefit all Industry Stakeholders Early Standardization of Interfaces will benefit all Industry Stakeholders
