<p>There are prominent unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV) systems existing in the commercial marketplace today, but  these systems have a relatively small role and presence in U.S. Navy application. This thesis suggests what existing  commercially available UUV system architectural attributes could be used now in U.S. Navy applications. After a  survey of multiple existing commercial UUV systems, five of the prevalent systems in the marketplace were selected  for analysis and comparison of their system architecture. This thesis included a comprehensive architectural analysis  on seven specific architectural attributes of these UUV systems. Other UUV systems were also analyzed to support  specific system architecture discussion. Major architecture considerations were made by the UUV system designers  and likely drivers of existing system attributes were discussed as well as the benefits and disadvantages of these  system attributes. Finally, based on the material and findings of the thesis, recommendations for a notional UUV  system design and architecture for the U.S. Navy was presented.
