Cooperative Navigation System for Multiple Unmanned Underwater Vehicles

Abstract In recent yeas, long-range accuracy cooperative navigation(CN) for multiple UUVs under complex marine environment is getting more and more attention. In this paper, firstly, the state-of-the-art of multiple UUV cooperation system is introduced. Then, the characteristic and system structure of multiple UUVs CN are analyzed, as well as the CN methods. Finally, based on the current development of CN system, the prospect of CN for multiple UUVs is brought forward in terms of the requirement, hardware, communication, and so on.
