Some results of research devoted to the modeling of a AUV-Stealth vehicle performance towards limiting its hydro-acoustic field are presented in the paper. At the beginning the AUV-Stealth autonomous underwater vehicle concept is described. Then the method of research is introduced. Next the key design drivers of the AUV-Stealth vehicle are presented. Between them are the AUV-Stealth hull form, arrangement of internal spaces, materials, hull covers, energy supply and propulsion system, etc. Some results of the hydrodynamic and stealth characteristics of the AUV-Stealth vehicle are briefly described. It is presented in the paper that the hull form, construction materials including the covers may affect the AUV-Stealth vehicle boundary layer and wake. This may create some problems of identification of the AUV-Stealth vehicle using a sonar or hydrophone. The final conclusions are presented.
