Abstract
This paper discusses a control system designed for use in a vehicle operated as a testbed for underwater vehicle technologies. The various considerations that led to the incorporation of a communication network are discussed along with the network standards considered. The Control Area Network was adopted, and the reasons supporting this choice are discussed. Finally, some of the implemented hardware is described. The control system discussed in the paper has been operated successfully during several field tests, and has a number of features that support commonality across multiple vehicle platforms.
