After a vigorous decision process, the team voted on naming the 2009 Competition Vehicle, Nova. Below is the latest CAD model of the vehicle.

On Sunday, November 23, CUAUV celebrated its 10th Anniversary with an Open Pool Test. Faculty advisors, support staff, the Cornell Community and the Ithaca Community were all invited to attend.

This past weekend, CUAUV purchased a 2'x3'x5' tank that will be located in the ELL. The tank will allow for vehicle buoyancy testing as well as leak testing. Pictured below is the tank in CUAUV's lab space.

   

On Saturday, October 4, CUAUV ran its second lake test in Cayuga Lake. Deploying again from Well's College's dock, the team assessed lake conditions and tested the vehicle's Doppler Velocity Log (DVL). Due to the quickly dropping temperatures, the team probably will not run another test until the spring.

CUAUV ran its first successful lake test on Saturday, September 20. At Wells College's dock in Aurora, the 2008 competition vehicle Triton was deployed in Cayuga Lake. Mission elements, as well as general vehicle functionality, were tested during this run. The team is excited about the results and hopes to get back into the lake soon.

After a vigorous application process and much anticipation, CUAUV is pleased to announce that it has selected its 2008-2009 Team. Pictured below are the new recruits. Check the about us page soon for pictures and profiles of individual members.

CUAUV is pleased to announce that Analog Devices will continue to sponsor the team for 2008-2009. Analog Devices has generously donated two copies of Analog's VisualDSP++ for Sharcs. These licenses will allow the team to switch over to Sharc processors, which will form basis of a new USBL direction-finding system for the new competition vehicle.
