No existing AUV can penetrate a shipwreck's interior; the thesis synthesizes the WIEVLE (wreck interior exploration vehicle) architecture — functional analysis, requirements, key performance parameters, and tradeoff analysis against DEPTHX, HAUV, ARROWS, and ACQUAS — using the sunken Soviet nuclear submarine Komsomolets as the design reference mission, including hypothetical intelligence-collection targets.
