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 thesis, several algorithms for generating position fixes from these range data are implemented, tested, and evaluated with synthetic data. The algorithms are then applied to data obtained during operations at sea. / US Nany (USN) author.
