Advances in AV capabilities are enabled (and limited) by progress in the technologies of computing and robotics, navigation, communications and networking, power sources and propulsion, and materials.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAutonomous Vehicles in Support of Naval Operations\u003c\/i\u003e is a forward-looking discussion of the naval operational environment and vision for the Navy and Marine Corps and of naval mission needs and potential applications and limitations of AVs.
