Abstract

The article describes the design of passive underwater landmarks (PUL) and their use for navigation of autonomous unmanned underwater vehicles (AUV). The procedure of AUV observation using PUL is considered. It is shown that with proper maneuvering of the AUV during observation, the accuracy of determining its coordinates is limited only by the accuracy of the PUL positioning during installation. This accuracy also affects the distance between neighboring PULs installed along the AUV’s route. If the AUV is equipped with a high-precision autonomous navigation system, the PULs can be installed at the intervals of several hundred kilometers.

被动水下地标在自主水下航行器中的应用。

摘要

本文介绍了被动式水下地标（PUL）的设计及其在无人驾驶水下航行器（AUV）导航中的使用。考虑使用PUL进行AUV观察的程序。结果表明，在观察过程中对AUV进行适当的操纵时，确定其坐标的精度仅受安装过程中PUL定位精度的限制。这种准确性还会影响沿AUV路线安装的相邻PUL之间的距离。如果AUV配备有高精度的自主导航系统，则PUL可以以几百公里的间隔安装。
