The Mandatory Navigation Channel task is designed to demonstrate basic autonomous control and sensing capabilities.

The purpose of the Obstacle Field task is to demonstrate complex path planning.

Successful completion of the Acoustic Docking task will demonstrate the ability to detect an underwater acoustic signal,localize to the source, and maneuver into and out of a defined area.

Successful completion of the Object Delivery task requires delivery of up to four (4) objects to a target area. This task may be accomplished by the ASV or a combination of ASV and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).

Successful completion of the Speed Gate task demonstrates the ASV’s hull form efficiency coupled with its propulsion system, and the resulting maneuverability.

The purpose of the Return to Dock task is to demonstrate the ability to navigate back to the launch point while avoiding interaction with any obstacles.

Successful completion of the Obstacle Channel task demonstrates the ability to sense and maneuver through a complex path.
