High-speed underwater vehicles are critical carriers for underwater high-speed penetration. To address their higher drag reduction demands, higher-performance underwater drag reduction technologies and more precise control techniques are required. Supercavitation drag reduction is primarily explored, which holds significant development potential, discussing its drag reduction mechanisms, component functions, and cavitation morphology changes. The current status and development level of supercavitation drag reduction technology theory, experimental validation techniques, and typical equipment are analyzed both domestically and internationally. Further, key issues in motion control for high-speed underwater vehicles are examined, researching control techniques such as linear feedback, robust pole placement, sliding mode variable structure, H-infinity robust control, and intelligent control, conducting research and application analysis on motion control methods. Areas requiring further research in current supercavitation drag reduction are also analyzed, including cavity stability issues, flow field simulation and validation for complex force-thermal physical processes, multiphase flow complex thermophysical process modeling, and robust stability design in highly nonlinear environments. Finally, from a future development perspective, it identifies unresolved problems such as perfecting fundamental mechanisms, intelligent control, algorithm innovation, structural innovation and interdisciplinary integration, and engineering validation. References for research on drag reduction and control technologies for high-speed underwater vehicles can be provided.
