unmanned submarine can be applied to future exploration of marine resources, water pollution investigation, precision topographic mapping, search for sunken objects and coastal sea harbor monitoring and so on. The technology used in the field of national defense and other related words, you can create a smart torpedoes. Korea Land Department in early June before receiving the transfer of technology applications and select successful bidders. Plans before the first half of 2011 for the exploration and development of deep seabed resources, and promote research and development study 6000 m water depth can be used free of deep-sea unmanned submarine.
