This volume contains forty papers from the 1st IFAC Workshop on Guidance and Control of Underwater Vehicles. The aim of the Workshop was to bring together academic practitioners and industrialists involved in this important and expanding area of interest in order to exchange experiences on recent advances in this field. Topics covered by the papers in this proceeding include UUV Control Applications, System Identification, UUV Architectures, Navigation, Modelling, Fault Detection and Reconfiguration. Contributors from Italy, Ireland, Japan, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, USA and the United Kingdom were represented at the workshop.The Workshop was voted a resounding success by all delegates and in the light of this vote of confidence the Technical Committee on Marine Systems is planning to run this event again in 2005, with the slightly amended title of Navigation, Guidance and Control of Underwater Vehicles

Unmanned marine vehicles (UMVs) include autonomous underwater vehicles, remotely operated vehicles, semi-submersibles and unmanned surface craft. Considerable importance is being placed on the design and development of such vehicles, as they provide cost-effective solutions to a number of littoral, coastal and offshore problems. This book highlights the advanced technology that is evolving to meet the challenges being posed in this exciting and growing area of research.
