Abstract	The Marlin(r) AUV has had tremendous success over the past two years in demonstrating value to offshore structural inspections and surveys. The efficiency and safety in operations and the delivery of the data product have been very favorably received by the customer. The current Mk II Marlin(r) AUV is rated for operations in a maximum water depth of 300 m. Lockheed Martin has recently embarked on the design and development of the deepwater Marlin Mk III. This paper describes the autonomy and GNC challenges that the Mk II has addressed and that must be addressed by the Mk III.
