Zusammenfassung:	This patent application describesa new method for constructing an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle AUV. The construction is firstly based on modules that each houses a certain function, sensor or equipment of the AUV. Secondly the modular construction also covers the software that is modular and based on mimickling the crew of a research vessel. Thus there are software modules that handle the different types of steering of the AUV, a captain that oversees the general operation and mission of the AUV, a scientific mission leader, scientists that handle individual sensors and the processing of their measurements, an engineer that oversees the functions of the mechanical units etc.
