Definition
The AUV/ROV/HOV propulsion system is an underwater energy conversion device that converts other forms of energy into kinetic energy of AUV/ROV/HOV. It consists of several thrusters that work together to propel the AUV/ROV/HOV to complete various complex movements underwater, such as cruise, search, hover, and other complex sports. Due to different missions, different underwater vehicles have different requirements for their own propulsion systems. In general, the propulsion system of an underwater vehicle should have good maneuverability, efficient propulsion efficiency, and low weight.
