DCE-AUV is a project undertaken by students of Delhi College of Engineering. Currently in its second generation development, this project aims at designing and building of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle. The vehicle is capable of performing various underwater tasks like detecting underwater light sources, following pipelines, traveling through gates, dropping markers at strategic locations, detecting ultrasonic sound, picking up loads etc. it is a multi-disciplinary project, requiring involvement of skilled people from different branches of Engineering. This project has varied applications in fields of underwater surveillance and defense. It makes use of modern technology and equipments to fulfill its tasks up to the mark and perform well when tested.

The first generation vehicle developed by the DCE-AUV team participated in an international competition organized in San Diego (USA), by AUVSI and ONR. It performed quite well and fared better than teams from many reputed universities from all over the globe. This time, efforts are being made to further improve and broaden the technology used with a greater amount of accuracy and precision. The team plans to work harder and try and achieve greater heights in the international competition to be held in San Diego (USA) this summer.
