Mankind knows more about space than we do our own planet. Scientists and researchers have managed to map more of the solar system than the ocean floor. This is due to the fact that humans have had limited access to the deep ocean due to the physical challenges of exploring this environment, the high costs associated with exploration, limited technological advancements, and lack of investment. Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) are excellent platforms for undersea research as they have greater operational flexibility and can operate in areas that are inaccessible or may be considered perilous for humans. UUVs have been developed to support a wide range of missions, this study in particular will examine the design space for UUVs developed to conduct bottom mapping missions at full ocean depth. A UUV is only useful if it can effectively collect the data it is designed to collect. This means that the sensors and equipment onboard should be able to function with satisfactory resolution at the operating speed of the UUV. Though UUVs offer great advantages, they are severely constrained in operational time by their limited energy supply. This study will aim to optimize an UUV for oceanographic missions by extending the vehicles operation time through the incorporation of a nuclear energy source. This study will use a MATLAB based Design Space Exploration (DSE) approach to explore the tradeoffs of platform size to achieve 6000m operational depth for a given power while maximizing the vehicle's scanning coverage rate.
