In this paper we describe some of the desirable characteristics of an autonomous underwater vehicle capable of undertaking environmental surveys in the ocean. Several of these characteristics are incorporated in the 7 m long Autosub-1 vehicle which has completed over 120 missions to date in UK and US waters. We review some of the key technological innovations used within Autosub-1 and describe some results from a 110 km survey off the coast of Florida in December 1997. While the survey demonstrated many of the advantages of using an AUV for environmental monitoring the paper concludes with a discussion of technical and procedural areas that still require attention before the use of AUVs can be considered routine.
