Abstract

The invention provides a method of designing an underwater vehicle for use in an underwater measurement operation. The method comprises using a model (110) of a measurement scenario (102) and calculating a base vector field data set (111). A vehicle design (104) is incorporated into the model (110) to create a combined model, and a first vector field data set (112) is calculated from the combined model. The first vector field data set (112) is compared (114) with the base vector field data set (111) to assess the suitability of the vehicle design for the measurement operation (116).
