Between the sheer inaccessibility of the deep sea and its many dangers for a human operator, underwater environments represent the perfect testing ground for autonomous vehicle technology. One of the greatest challenges engineers have faced in this endeavor involves the volatile relationship between electrical parts and water. Sophisticated machines require a sophisticated power source that neither limits exploration nor puts technicians and equipment at risk. To fully understand this sentiment, it’s important to recognize the amazing innovations in unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV) and the applications driving the need for more reliable electrical connectivity.
