Persistent operation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) without manual interruption for recharging saves time and total cost for offshore monitoring and data collection applications. In order to facilitate AUVs for long mission durations without ship support, they can be equipped with docking capabilities to recharge in situ at Wave Energy Converter (WEC) with dock recharging stations.
