[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned underwater vehicles, and in particular to a multi-source detection, identification and processing device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of UUV (Unmanned Underwater Vehicle) technology and related technologies, UUV has been used to perform tasks such as minesweeping, reconnaissance, intelligence gathering and ocean exploration. In future naval battles, it may also be used as underwater weapon platforms, logistics support platforms and other equipment. Micro-unmanned navigation has the smallest displacement among UUVs, and has the advantages of small size, light weight, easy transportation and deployment, and low requirements for the carrying platform.
