A small unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) to inspection of an undersea space is presented in the paper. Its behavior is controlled by a trained pilot. Correct detection and identification of targets depends on vehicle’s precise displacement along a predefined route. Nowadays, the UUVs are equipped with an automatic control system to execute some basic maneuvers without constant human interventions. Hence, in the paper, an autopilot assuring an appropriate vehicle’s movement is described. Selected results of computer simulations illustrating a quality of the underwater mission are inserted
