Design elements of a small AUV for bathymetric surveys

A Review on Optimal Placement of Sensors for Cooperative Localization of AUVs

“…With the development of sophisticated sensors and reliable underwater communication equipment, it is now possible to use AUVs in many complex and extended military as well as civil applications which were previously not possible. Few examples of AUVs application are bathy-metric surveys [2,3], inspections of underwater gas, oil, or other installations [4][5][6], search of wreckages of missing airplanes [7], rescue of men or material from underwater [8], marine research [9,10], and mine countermeasure operations and surveillance for military purpose [11][12][13][14]. Beside other challenges of an AUV's operation, selflocalization is extremely difficult task due to severe attenuation of Radio Frequency (RF) waves and nonavailability of Global Positioning System (GPS) signals in water [15].…”
