Project Motivation
The development of industry standards for AUV interfaces, similar to the API standards for ROVs, will:
– Lead to compatible system designs by AUV vendors and field hardware manufacturers, and
– Enable safer, more efficient and cost effective operations of subsea fields.
Future capabilities and benefits of AUVs will be substantially enhanced through the use of standardized interfaces with subsea facilities

Project Objectives
Project Objective:
– Identify subsea interfaces which should be standardized for AUVs
– Develop recommendations and preliminary drafts of interface standards
– Submit to API SC17

Preliminary List of AUV Interfaces for Standardization
Standardization Must Consider Both Greenfield and Brownfield Applications
• Docking
• Power / Battery Charging
• Communications / Data Transfer
• Mechanical Intervention

Vision of Success
API Adoption of DeepStar Task Report as Input to a Recommended Practice.
Follow Outline for API RP 17H:– Scope– Normative References, Terms and Abbreviations– AUV Interface Philosophy– Design Performance– Design Considerations– AUV Interfaces and Subsea Systems– Operational Considerations– Indicator Systems– Materials– Documentation– AUV Interfaces– Informative Annexes
Deliver Draft RP Document to API SC17 in MS Word Format

Key Results and Next Steps
Summary of Results:
– Draft RP, formatted as a “Stand Alone” document following format of API RP 17H
– Key Sections include:
• Sect. 4.0: AUV Interface Philosophy and Functional Requirements
• Sect. 7.0: AUV Navigational Requirements for Interfaces and Subsea Systems
• Sect. 12.0: AUV Interfaces
Next Steps:
– Deliver DeepStar report to API upon completion of DeepStar reveiws
