Towards Accurate Positioning of Underwater Vehicles Using Low-cost Acoustic Modems

Christian Busse,Bernd-Christian Renner,Christian Busse,Bernd-Christian Renner

Navigating autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in shallow and harbor waters is challenging and typically has higher accuracy requirements than navigation in the open sea. We investigate enhancements to underwater localization techniques based on Two-Way Ranging (TWR) using acoustic modems, which have great potential to meet localization accuracy requirements at lower cost and complexity than cur...
