Acoustic underwater navigation of the Phoenix Autonomous Underwater Vehicle using the DiveTracker system

Acoustic underwater navigation of the Phoenix Autonomous Underwater Vehicle using the DiveTracker system

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) require a navigation system in order to conduct useful functions. This research was an experimental investigation of the commercial DiveTracker underwater acoustic navigation system used onboard the NPS Phoenix AUV. Tests conducted with the DiveTracker system pr...
