Description: NanoSeeker is a design I am working on for a truly tiny AUV. It is four inches long, and an inch in diameter. One of the neat things about this design is it has no external fins or control planes, so it can actually fit inside a one inch launch tube.

Another thing I have done with this design is to only use inexpensive, common off the shelf parts. I haven't done a full budget for this AUV yet, but I estimate it could be built for under $500 USD worth of parts.
