Abstract
An underwater vehicle module connector includes a first mating ring connected to a first module and including a first bulkhead sealing the first module, a first electrical connector extending outward from the first bulkhead, and a first coupling mechanism. A second mating ring is connectable to a second module and includes a second bulkhead sealing the second module, a second electrical connector extending outward from the second bulkhead, and a second coupling mechanism. The first and second couplers are configured to releasably couple the first mating ring to the second mating ring and mate the first electrical connector with the second electrical connector.
