Use of an acoustic network as an underwater positioning system

Underwater acoustic networks provide an interface between UUVs and surface or land-based control systems. By exploiting range data measured incidental to communications on these networks it is possible to perform underwater positioning similar to that of the satellite-based GPS program. In this th...
