theapproaching vessel is identified as a threat (Huntsberger & Woodward, 2011). This software,developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), originates from NASA’s Mars rovers, but hasrecently been adapted for use on small boats. Figure 1 shows an example of applying thistechnology. Figure 1: 3D trajectory planning under CARACaS - AUV (Huntsberger & Woodward, 2011). Ship design in the U.S. Navy starts with concept design, then moves to engineeringdesign, and then to production design, as shown in Figure 2. The concept phase defines the waythe ship is supposed to function. During this phase, a concept of operation (CONOPS) isdeveloped (Chalfant, 2015). In the Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) phase, ship designers definemajor equipment
